Asteroid 1.0.0

New Features in Release 1.0.0

• Interpreter line-editing features similar to Python include interactive editing, history substitution and code completion on systems that support the GNU Readline library.

• New object-based modules for system modules. For example the functions within the
  io module are now accessed with the @ operator,

  load system io.
  io @println "Hello, World!".
  

• In the absence of explicit return statements the last expression evaluated within
  a function body provides an implicit return value, e.g.,

  function inc
     with i do
       i+1
     end
