Thanks for pointing out that, I'll review the code (I really should review
the core and contrib code to get a feel for idiomatic code).
I'm working on a set of file utilities that manipulate files and directories
rather than streams (find-files, mv, cd, pwd, rm, mkdir, etc).  I'm forcing
myself to use clojure for all my scripting and the first set of scripts did
a bunch of file/dir searching and manipulation and rather than calling
java.io.File calls and org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils I was going to try
and write a idiomatic Clojure wrapper (my first real Clojure code ... my
first real functional lang or lispy code).
