Isn't s redefined in this example:
user=> (require '[clojure.spec :as s])
(s/def ::even? (s/and integer? even?))
(s/def ::odd? (s/and integer? odd?))
(s/def ::a integer?)
(s/def ::b integer?)
(s/def ::c integer?)
(def s (s/cat :forty-two #{42}
:odds (s/+ ::odd?)
:m (s/keys :req-un [::a ::b ::c])
:oes (s/* (s/cat :o ::odd? :e ::even?))
:ex (s/alt :odd ::odd? :even ::even?)))
user=> (s/conform s [42 11 13 15 {:a 1 :b 2 :c 3} 1 2 3 42 43 44 11])
{:forty-two 42,
:odds [11 13 15],
:m {:a 1, :b 2, :c 3},
:oes [{:o 1, :e 2} {:o 3, :e 42} {:o 43, :e 44}],
:ex {:odd 11}}
