;;; Basically a Lispy version of Tracery https://github.com/galaxykate/tracery
;;; without the nutty string-parsing stuff.
;;;
;;; (define-rule name ...expressions...)
;;;
;;; strings evaluate to themselves: "foo bar" -> "foo bar"
;;;
;;; symbols funcall their symbol-function: animal -> "mouse"
;;;
;;; lists evaluate their contents and concatenate them with spaces in between:
;;;     ("foo" animal "bar") -> "foo mouse bar"
;;;
;;; the magic keyword :. inside a list suppresses the space there:
;;;
;;;     ("foo" "bar" :. "baz") -> "foo barbaz"
;;;
;;; vectors evaluate the head and pipe it through all the functions in the tail:
;;;
;;;     #(animal capitalize pos) -> "Mouse's"
