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
Fixed up the documentation language here and there, related to the alias
removals in previous commits.

- Inline code is written using ``double backticks``
- Italicized text uses *asterisks* rather than `single backticks`
- Function parameters are italicized rather than written as inline code
supports Hy code.
All code-blocks in the documentation have been changed from
clojure to hy.
Also added docs/make.bat for Windows, so the top-level docs
target now works on Windows as well.
* hy/contrib/anaphoric.hy: The following anaphoric macros have been
added
`ap-reject` : Opposite of ap-filter, yields the elements when a `pred`
evaluates to false
`ap-dotimes` : Execute body forms (possibly for side-effects) n times
with `it` bound from 0 to n-1
`ap-first` : return the first element that passes predicate
`ap-last` : return the last element that passes predicate
`ap-reduce`: anaphoric form of reduce that allows `acc` and `it` to
create a function that is applied over the list
* docs/contrib/anaphoric.rst: updated docs to reflect these changes
* tests/__init__.py: updated to explicitly include tests for anaphoric
macros
