Why should ? denote a boolean predicate? This is logic programming, not
functional programming. ;) In Mathematics i is the imaginary unit, in
electrical engineering it's the current (with j being the imaginary unit.)

This is something I personally don't like at all. What does this code do:
(geto x y z)? You can't tell you have to look at the surrounding context.
And that context can be arbitrary large. A similar example is Erlang pattern
matching. What does this erlang code do: {X, Y} = {1, 2}? You can't tell.
You have to look at the context whether X and/or Y are bound there.
In clojure (get x y z) is local. You can tell by looking at it, what's going
on. Whether now x, y or z are locals or Vars makes no difference to the
meaning of the code.

If you'll give me some time to read it... ;)
