Thanks to @jules for the suggestion and an initial proof.

For example, change `(!! i)` into `(.!! x)` so that `!!` can also be used as
a prefix, as done in VST for example.

This closes issue #42.

I have used the `sed` script below. This script took care of nearly all uses
apart from a few occurrences where a space was missing, e.g. `(,foo)`. In
this case, `coqc` will just fail, allowing one to patch up things manually.

The script is slightly too eager on Iris developments, where it also replaces
`($ ...)` introduction patterns. When porting Iris developments you thus may
want to remove the line for `$`.

This changes the encoding used for finite lists of values of countable
types to be linear instead of exponential. The encoding works by
duplicating bits of each element so that 0 -> 00 and 1 -> 11, and then
separating each element with 10. The top 1-bits are not kept since we
know a 10 is starting a new element which ends with a 1.

Fix #28

This is in preparation for coq/coq#9274.

Adding a hint without a database now triggers a deprecation warning in
Coq master (https://github.com/coq/coq/pull/8987).
