adam dce6a117af py-hy: updated to 0.14.0
0.14.0

Removals
* Python 3.3 is no longer supported
* def is gone; use setv instead
* apply is gone; use the new #* and #** syntax instead
* yield-from is no longer supported under Python 2
* Periods are no longer allowed in keywords
* Numeric literals can no longer begin with a comma or underscore
* Literal Inf\s and NaN\s must now be capitalized like that

Other Breaking Changes
* Single-character "sharp macros" are now "tag macros", which can have
  longer names
* xi from hy.extra.anaphoric is now a tag macro #%
* eval is now a function instead of a special form

New Features
* The compiler now automatically promotes values to Hy model objects
  as necessary, so you can write (eval (+ 1 ~n)) instead of
  (eval (+ 1 ~(HyInteger n)))
* return has been implemented as a special form
* Added a form of string literal called "bracket strings" delimited by
  #[FOO[ and ]FOO], where FOO is customizable
* Added support for PEP 492 (async and await) with fn/a, defn/a,
  with/a, and for/a
* Added Python-style unpacking operators #* and  #** (e.g.,
  (f #* args #** kwargs))
* Added a macro comment
* Added EDN #_ syntax to discard the next term
* while loops may now contain an else clause, like for loops
* #% works on any expression and has a new &kwargs parameter %**
* Added a macro doc and a tag macro #doc
* get is available as a function
* ~@ (unquote-splice) form now accepts any false value as empty

Bug Fixes
* Relative imports (PEP 328) are now allowed
* Numeric literals are no longer parsed as symbols when followed by a dot
  and a symbol
* Hy now respects the environment variable PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE
* String literals should no longer be interpreted as special forms or macros
* Tag macros (née sharp macros) whose names begin with ! are no longer
  mistaken for shebang lines
* Fixed a bug where REPL history wasn't saved if you quit the REPL with
  (quit) or (exit)
* exec now works under Python 2
* No TypeError from multi-arity defn returning values evaluating to None
* try forms are now possible in defmacro and deftag
* Multiple expressions are now allowed in try
* Fixed a crash when macroexpand\ing a macro with a named import
* Fixed a crash when with suppresses an exception. with now returns
  None in this case.
* Fixed a crash when --repl-output-fn raises an exception
* Fixed a crash when HyTypeError was raised with objects that had no
  source position
* assoc now evaluates its arguments only once each
* Multiple expressions are now allowed in the else clause of
  a for loop
* else clauses in for and while are recognized more reliably
* Statements in the condition of a while loop are repeated properly
* Argument destructuring no longer interferes with function docstrings
* Nullary yield-from is now a syntax error
* break and continue now raise an error when given arguments
  instead of silently ignoring them

Misc. Improvements
* read, read_str, and eval are exposed and documented as top-level
  functions in the hy module
* An experimental let macro has been added to hy.contrib.walk
