Switch README format to reStructuredText

2017-09-23T12:34:35Z

In preparation for creating a PyPI package. This is the documentation format PyPI expects. Some automatic conversion workarounds can be found on Google, but keep it simple and eliminate a step. Add a fancy table of contents using ::contents too.

Simplify expression representation

2017-09-21T18:21:00Z

Store simple (, , ) tuples instead of (, [list of operands]) tuples. The thought process behind the original representation was to avoid creating lots of nodes for long X && Y && Z && ... chains that sometimes appear, and possibly speed up evaluation. In retrospect, it's pretty bad, for the following reasons: 1) _make_and() and _make_or() created lots of new merged lists instead of simply reusing the tuples already allocated for the subexpressions. This is slow and memory hungry. 2) Any gain in evaluating long expressions would barely offset slower evaluation of short expressions. 3) The code became more complex. Most importantly, this change makes expressions more straightforward to work with for people peeking into internals.
