#() is intended only for short anonymous functions like #(instance?
Foo %). It is not a replacement for fn. #() does not nest. Here you
also see why it works the way it works: #((instance? Foo %)) would a)
look weird and b) give a wrong impression, that you "call" the return
value of instance?. So for anything more complicated you should use fn
instead of #().
