feat: sequencing of expressions with newline to same indent (#11)
continuous-integration/drone/push Build is passing Details

feat: sequencing of expressions with newline to same indent

  Also revised README to reflect greater emphasis on streams.
  Haskell code generation unsurprisingly required a fairly significant
  rework.

  Resolves #3.

So I embarked on this project to see if I could produce as comfortable a
language as possible to work in, given that I inevitably will be doing a
bunch of coding. The language will be
organized around (unary) ++f++unctions, (binary) ++o++perators, and
(nullary) ++str++eams, hence the name "fostr".
bunch of coding. The language will be centrally organized around the
concept of "streams" (somewhat in the spirit of
[streem](https://github.com/matz/streem) and/or
[Orc](http://orc.csres.utexas.edu/index.shtml)). In fact all higher-type
entities will be cast in terms of streams, or in slogan form, "++f++unctions
and (binary) ++o++perators are ++str++eams" (hence the name "fostr").

the language design from the ground up, it can be kept both effective and
natural.
* Code uses functions all the time. So needless to say, functions should be
first-class entities that are exceptionally easy to create, pass around,
etc.
* And true to the name, operators and streams should be just as easy to handle.
* fostr code uses streams (and their specializations to functions and
operators) all the time, so they are first-class entities that are easy
to create, pass around, compose, etc.
* Try to keep the constructs available as simple to reason about as possible,
and practical to use. So side effects are OK, and it should be clear when

### Everything has a value
As mentioned in the [Introduction](../README.md), everything in a fostr
program (including the entire program itself) is an expression and has
a value. So what's the value of that expression above? Well, `stdio` is our
a value. So what's the value of that expression above? Well, appropriately
enough, `stream` is our
first example of a stream, and for convenience, the value of a stream
receiving an item is just the stream back again. The `<<` operator is also
left-associative, so that way we can chain insertions into a stream:
