4c38e2c9dd Rename reader macros to "sharp macros" (#1282)
They're not actually reader macros, since their arguments are parsed s-expressions, like a regular macro, not pre-parsed source text.

18acfe6495 Revert the extension of with-decorator to setv
This is no longer necessary now that `defn` always produces a `FunctionDef`.

To compensate, I've made small edits to two contrib modules and reverted a small test change.

8b6a45e43a Remove car and cdr in favor of first and rest (#1241)
* Remove uses of `car` and `cdr` in /hy

* Remove uses of `car` and `cdr` in quote tests

* Remove `car` and `cdr` in favor of `first` and `rest`

I beefed up the documentation and tests for `first` and `rest` while I was at it.

I defined `car` and `cdr` in native_tests.cons so the tests read a bit more naturally.

e4a7b317e1 Make fn work like lambda and remove lambda (#1228)
* with-decorator: Allow a `setv` form as the form to be decorated

This feature is of dubious value by itself, but it's necessary to allow `defn` to create a lambda instead of a `def`.

* Make `fn` work the same as `lambda`

That is, allow it to generate a `lambda` instead of a `def` statement if the function body is just an expression.

I've removed two uses of with_decorator in hy.compiler because they'd require adding another case to HyASTCompiler.compile_decorate_expression and they have no ultimate effect, anyway.

In a few tests, I've added a meaningless statement in `fn` bodies to force generation of a `def`.

I've removed `test_fn_compiler_empty_function` rather than rewrite it because it seems like a pain to maintain and not very useful.

* Remove `lambda`, now that `fn` does the same thing

f3edeb99ae Allow commas and underscores in numeric literals
You can use them as thousands separators.

This change differs from PEP 515 in that not only does it allow commas in addition to underscores, but it's much more liberal about placement. Any number of underscores or commas can be placed anywhere, even at the start.

83cdaf0a71 Docs: Hy <-> Python interop fix #1061 (#1218)
* Docs: Hy <-> Python interop fix #1061

I separated the existing text in two sections, with some additional
explanations and a link to Hy's `import`.

* added interop page

* simplified interop section in tutorial

* remove the TODO from interop section in tutorial

Because yay

* Corrections from @Kodiologist

I kept the part about mangling, but added a warning about its incompleteness. I
think it can be useful for somebody who just wants to use a Python module in his
code. Maybe it can be removed when the actual documentation for mangling is
written.

* Added myself to AUTHORS.

I'll do my best to be worthy of it. Thanks for this awesome project!

e588b4928d add defmacro! and fix macro expansion error message (#1172)
* added defmacro!

* revert #924

#924 had an error and should never have been merged in the first place. (see #903)

* put back import getargspec

Without the `formatargspec` this time.

* Give better error message on failed macro expansion

Better error messages work most of the time. In cases where there are
parameters that aren't valid in Python, error message shown is rather
ugly. But this is better than no error messages at all and such
macros with strange parameter names are rather rare.

* fix flake8 errors

* Minor English improvements

ed8e37da62 Burninate the synonyms true, false, and nil
Per the straw poll in #908, as an alternative to #1147.

Now you must use `True`, `False`, and `None`, as in Python. Or just assign `true` to `True`, etc.; the old synonyms aren't reserved words anymore.

14fddbe6c3 Give require the same features as import (#1142)
Give `require` the same features as `import`

You can now do (require foo), (require [foo [a b c]]), (require [foo [*]]), and (require [foo :as bar]). The first and last forms get you macros named foo.a, foo.b, etc. or bar.a, bar.b, etc., respectively. The second form only gets the macros in the list.

Implements #1118 and perhaps partly addresses #277.

N.B. The new meaning of (require foo) will cause all existing code that uses macros to break. Simply replace these forms with (require [foo [*]]) to get your code working again.

There's a bit of a hack involved in the forms (require foo) or (require [foo :as bar]). When you call (foo.a ...) or (bar.a ...), Hy doesn't actually look inside modules. Instead, these (require ...) forms give the macros names that have periods in them, which happens to work fine with the way Hy finds and interprets macro calls.

* Make `require` syntax stricter and add tests

* Update documentation for `require`

* Documentation wording improvements

* Allow :as in `require` name lists
