I just noticed this unexpected result for Map destructuring with an
<quote>:or</quote> directive:
<pre>
user=> (def guys-name-map {:f-name "Guy" :l-name
"Steele"})
#'user/guys-name-map
user=> (let [{:keys [f-name m-name l-name] :or {:m-name "CL"}} guys-
name-map] (str l-name ", " f-name "+" m-name))
"Steele, Guy+"
user=> (let [{:keys [f-name m-name l-name] :or {m-name "CL"}} guys-
name-map] (str l-name ", " f-name "+" m-name))
"Steele, Guy+CL"
</pre>
Note that the <quote>:or</quote> directive does not seem to respect/
use the preceeding :keys directive and appears to be doing its lookup
using symbols only. Was this the intended behavior?
Wouldn't it be more useful to extend the behavior of <quote>:or</
quote> to use the same lookup method (:keys, :strs, or :syms) as
specified in the (same) preceeding map context?
