5369f03464 Improve parsing of nested edn::ValueAndSpan streams. r=rnewman (#393)
* Pre: Expose more in edn.

* Pre: Make it easier to work with ValueAndSpan.

with_spans() is a temporary hack, needed only because I don't care to
parse the bootstrap assertions from text right now.

* Part 1a: Add `value_and_span` for parsing nested `edn::ValueAndSpan` instances.

I wasn't able to abstract over `edn::Value` and `edn::ValueAndSpan`;
there are multiple obstacles.  I chose to roll with
`edn::ValueAndSpan` since it exposes the additional span information
that we will want to form good error messages in the future.

* Part 1b: Add keyword_map() parsing an `edn::Value::Vector` into an `edn::Value::map`.

* Part 1c: Add `Log`/`.log(...)` for logging parser progress.

This is a terrible hack, but it sure helps to debug complicated nested
parsers.  I don't even know what a principled approach would look
like; since our parser combinators are so frequently expressed in
code, it's hard to imagine a data-driven interpreter that can help
debug things.

* Part 2: Use `value_and_span` apparatus in tx-parser/.

I break an abstraction boundary by returning a value column
`edn::ValueAndSpan` rather than just an `edn::Value`.  That is, the
transaction processor shouldn't care where the `edn::Value` it is
processing arose -- even we care to track that information we should
bake it into the `Entity` type.  We do this because we need to
dynamically parse the value column to support nested maps, and parsing
requires a full `edn::ValueAndSpan`.  Alternately, we could cheat and
fake the spans when parsing nested maps, but that's potentially
expensive.

* Part 3: Use `value_and_span` apparatus in query-parser/.

* Part 4: Use `value_and_span` apparatus in root crate.

* Review comment: Make Span and SpanPosition Copy.

* Review comment: nits.

* Review comment: Make `or` be `or_exactly`.

I baked the eof checking directly into the parser, rather than using
the skip and eof parsers.  I also took the time to restore some tests
that were mistakenly commented out.

* Review comment: Extract and use def_matches_* macros.

* Review comment: .map() as late as possible.

2592506288 Implement parsing of simple :find expressions. (#196) r=nalexander
* Test the mentat_query directory on Travis.

* Export common types from edn.

This allows you to write

  use edn::{PlainSymbol,Keyword};

instead of

  use edn:🔣:{PlainSymbol,Keyword};

* Add an edn::Value::is_keyword predicate.

* Clean up query, preparing for query-parser.

* Make EDN keywords and symbols take Into<String> arguments.

* Implement parsing of simple :find lists.

* Rustfmt query-parser. Split find and query.

* Review comment: values_to_variables now returns a NotAVariableError on failure.

* Review comment: rename gimme to to_parsed_value.

* Review comment: add comments.
