Idiomatic constructs

idiomatic.tc defines a few macros for common expressions in classification.

Those macros which test for specific properties are optimized for rapid processing in tcng and typically also yield more efficient classifiers. For each such macro, there is also a macro that tests for the absence of that property. Those macros have the same name, prefixed with not_, and are normally more efficient than using the negation operator (!).

Note that idiomatic.tc is included via fields.tc and should not be included directly.
