r4: for comprehensions for Rust

This package provides the iterate! macro, which builds for comprehensions out of nested flat-map operations. If you're familiar with Python's list comprehensions or Scala's for statement, the syntax should be familiar.

See rustdocs for usage, examples, and a more detailed description of the macro's internals.

To-do

• Examine overhead introduced by nesting closures instead of using naked loops.
• Benchmark.
• ?Figure out how to avoid moving values we don't have to.
• ?Figure out how to avoid creating some new iterators unnecessarily.
