I guess my thinking is a literal doesn't contain variables :)
I'd have #{1 2 3} and #{:a :b :c} and #{'x 'y 'z} but I would never
have thought of #{var-a var-b}... I'm trying to think whether I've
even done that for regular maps or whether I've used the hash-map
function or into {} to create maps from "variables"...

This and your follow-up made me go back to my comment above and take a
look at my code... I pretty much only use the literal notation for
constants. I have just a couple of places where I use [ ] around
expressions, and even then it tends to be just pairs. Everywhere else
I already use vector - or vec - and where I have maps, the keys are
constants and only the values are expressions.
And while I was writing this, BG's post just came in which kinda fits
with my thinking too... Definitely interesting to see another way of
looking at those constructs tho'...
