The sequence in the transcript below shows runtime exceptions when a 
numeric keyword is followed by a list starting with a symbol or character.

Would anyone help me with a reason for the failing cases?

user=> (clojure-version)
"1.6.0"
user=> '(:42 a)
(:42 a)
user=> '(:42 "a")
(:42 "a")
user=> '(:42 \a)
(:42 \a)
user=> '(:42 nil)
(:42 nil)
user=> '(:42 true)
(:42 true)
user=> '(:42 :43)
(:42 :43)
user=> '(:42 (a))
