As a result:
* functions such as `nth` should work correctly on iterators;
* `nth` will raise `IndexError` (in a fashion consistent with `get`)
when the index is out of bounds;
* `take`, etc. will raise `ValueError` instead of returning
an ambiguous value if the index is negative;
* `map`, `zip`, `range`, `input`, `filter` work the same way (Py3k one)
on both Python 2 and 3 (see #523 and #331).
Also small DRYing in try handling.
Previously, writing a bare (try (foo)) would invoke Pokemon
exception catching (gotta catch 'em all) instead of the correct
behavior, which is to raise the exception if no handler is provided.
Note that this is a cute feature of Hy, as a `try` with no `except`
is a syntax error. We avoid the syntax error here because we don't
use Python's compiler, which is the only thing that can throw
Syntax Errors. :D
Fixes#555.
When calling get with more than two arguments, treat the rest as indexes
into the expression from the former. That is, (get foo "bar" "baz")
would translate to foo["bar"]["baz"], and so on.
This fixes#362.

Apply didn't work on method calls (i.e. `(apply .foo [bar]) broke).
This slipped through because there were no tests of this behavior. I noticed
it while trying to merge the `meth` fixes.
The fancypants Hy award goes to Nick for coming up with the quoted
symbol hack for exports. This broke with foo?, since the export string
needs to be is_foo, but using a quoted string will pick up the change
due to it being a Symbol.
Mad clown love for that, @olasd.
This gets rid of the dichotomy between bootstrap.py and macros.hy,
by making both files hy modules.
I added some error checking to make the macros more resilient. The
biggest (user-visible) change is the change in cond, which now only
accepts lists as arguments. Tests updated accordingly.
Closes: #176 (whoops, no more bootstrap)
This will let us implement common functions seen in other lisps,
and allow them to be importable, without explicit imports. The goal
is to keep this as small as we can; we don't want too much magic.
I've added `take' and `drop' as examples of what we can do.
A macro is available in the module where it was defined and
in any module that does a require of the defining module.
Only macros defined in hy.core are globally available.
Fixes#181
The new and improved (import) can handle all cases import-as and
import-from did, so drop the latter two from the language. To do this,
the import builtin had to be changed a little: if there's a single
import statement to return, return it as-is, otherwise return a list of
imports.

This also fixes a bug in the pass optimize missing branch where the code is
something like: [stmt, [], stmt]; in such case we want to filter out [], so
if we end up with [] we can optimize it. This fix is needed otherwise (do)
inside (do) are not properly optimized.

With these changes, the import function will become a lot smarter, and
will combine all of import, import-from and import-as in a hyly lispy
syntax:
(import sys os whatever_else)
(import [sys [exit argv]] [os :as real_os]
[whatever_else [some_function :as sf]])
That is, each argument of import can be:
- A plain symbol, which will be imported
- A list, which will be handled specially
If the argument is a list, the first element will always be the module
name to import, the second member can be either of these:
- A list of symbols to import
- The ':as' keyword
- Nothing
If it is the ':as' keyword, the third argument must be an alias. If it
is a list of symbols to import, we'll iterate through that list too. If
any symbol is followed by an ':as' keyword, we'll pick all three, and
treat the third member as an alias. If there is nothing else in the
list, we'll import the module as-is.
All this combined fixes#113.

This implements keywords, ":" prefixed symbols that are able to look
themselves up in a collection. They're internally stored as strings that
start with "\ufdd0".
This fixes#22.
