Nightly is required for compiling

- SWD: Simplified Working Directory -- the default that most prompts use
- MWD: Minified Working Directory -- the default that Fish uses

- We now have a setup.ion script for performing more advanced setup/installations.
- If the documentation is installed, it is accessible via the ion-docs builtin.
- This requires that the user specifies a BROWSER variable
- Fixed a bug with the quote terminator

The current API is subject to change, however, as the current feature set is a bit limited.
However, you can test out the existing support by installing the new git plugin, which is
recorded at the bottom of the newly-updated README.

I will be updating this manual in the coming week or so until it
fully documents every aspect of Ion to end users.

- Job control is now complete for non-redox unix systems.
- The fg command now works

We need to do a lot of refactoring now to clean this up though.

- The `SIGHUP` command is now being handled.
- The `disown` builtin can specify which jobs should ignore `SIGHUP`.
- The `disown` command will also prevent jobs from being terminated
  when the shell exits.
- The `suspend` command will send a `SIGSTOP` to the shell to stop it.

* Use signal constants from libc

Instead of hardcoding numbers, which causes portability issues.
In particular, SIGTSTP is not 20 on FreeBSD.

* Remove pid offset

Only allow implicit cd if the path starts with either a '.' or '/'; or
ends with a '/'.

* Updated README.md to include vi and emacs keybindings as completed
features.

* Fixed typo in 'Using Variables' example code.

Previously, when no pattern is supplied, a string will be split by spaces. This change
will extend that so that all whitespace characters will be considered in the pattern
for splitting.

- Implemented array expressions
- Implemented array syntax handling in the pipelines module

The following features are now implemented

- Let is no longer a builtin command, but part of the language
  - Export has not been ported, but will surely follow shortly
- Implements ability to create arrays with command array substitutions
  - Array command substitutions currently split based on whitespaces
- For loops may operate directly on arrays
  - Was already implemented, but it's nice to see it in action
- In addition, brace expansions also create arrays
  - Because logically, each permutation is a new element
- Arrays may be accessed with the @ sigil
  - Braced Arrays aren't yet supported
- Powers (exponents) have been implemented for let arithemtic

```ion
for i in @[echo one two three]
    echo $i
end
```

```ion
let array = one-{up,down}
echo @array
```

However, much more work is to be done. Progress is bein tracked in
issue #254. Most notably, the largest missing feature is the array syntax
for manually creating new arrays.
