[hacspec] hacspec syntax

[Karthikeyan Bhargavan]

Looks nice.

I’ve been wondering about how to balance between higher-order functions, generator/list comprehension syntax, and standard imperative loops.
It seems to me that the first is more natural for most verification languages, whereas the last may be most natural to programmers/spec authors.
Are comprehensions a good middle-ground? Are they even more confusing to programmers?
