Even Better bs.deriving abstract

We've further polished our new way of binding to JS objects. The record fields of a bs.deriving abstract can now accept functions.

Pipe First Improvement

Pipe First now supports piping into variant tags!

RE
let result = name |. preprocess |. Some

We turn this into:

RE
let result = Some(preprocess(name))

Js.Boolean Is Gone

Since BuckleScript 3.0, OCaml bool now compile to JS boolean. It was deprecated (all the boolean conversion functions became no-ops, with warnings during build), and now completely removed. No more need for the converter functions!
