Document multi-shot generators

4

As of v0.15.0, there is a toy implementation of multi-shot generators (i.e. *re-resumable* generators) buried within the automated tests, see [unpythonic.syntax.tests.test_conts_gen](https://github.com/Technologicat/unpythonic/blob/master/unpythonic/syntax/tests/test_conts_gen.py). Playing around with the idea, multi-shot generators seem a...

As of 0.15.1, the contents of the `with test` block are implicitly lifted into a function. This in itself is fine; it is documented behavior, and arguably the simplest way...

Support new source location fields in Python 3.8+

1

[Python 3.8 added](https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.8.html#ast) the `end_lineno` and `end_col_offset` fields to AST nodes that have `lineno` and `col_offset`. Specs in the [official documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/library/ast.html#ast.AST.end_lineno). We should probably worry about these anywhere we handle...

Now that Python 3.8 has added the walrus operator `:=`, it would make more sense to override that (instead of left-shift `

We already have `raisef` and `tryf`, functional loops, the `do[]` macro to write imperative code in an expression position... the last missing major piece of the puzzle is to support...

Pythonify TAGBODY/GO from Common Lisp

5

See [Peter Seibel: Practical Common Lisp, Chapter 20](http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/the-special-operators.html) for an explanation. Rough draft of how we could pythonify this. User interface: ```python from unpythonic.syntax import macros, with_tags, tag, go @with_tags...

Improve documentation

Over time, the feature set of `unpythonic` has become larger than can be briefly explained in a simple README. The documentation needs rethinking. **EDIT**: As of v0.15.0, some of this...
