Extraction from streams (#25)

Add the ! postfix operator and !! expression.
  Also add the ++ string concatenation operator.
  Also allow specification of standard input in the test scheme.

  Resolves #7, #18.

+There's not much to break down in such a tiny program as this, but let's do

+and unsurprisingly in a main program the default stream is standard input and
+output. And `'Hello, world!'` is a literal string constant; what you see is
+what you get. The only detail to know is that such constants must occur
+within a single line of your source file. So depending on how you
+ran the program and how closely you looked at its output,
+you may have noticed this program does not write a newline at the end
+of its message. Nothing is ever implicitly sent to a stream. So if you want
+newlines, you should switch to a (double-quoted) string that allows
