Sometimes it can be time consuming for someone new to Clojure, like myself, to find an existing function that does what they need. I think this would be easier if the standard functions were grouped in some meaningful way. For example, all these functions retrieve items from a sequence: first, second, rest, take, leave. I'm sure I omitted many.
Could function metadata be used to help with this? What if functions had a piece of metadata named "categories". Each function could be in any number of categories. There could be function similar to find-doc that finds all the functions in a given category. The hardest part might be coming up with good category names. -- R.
