Spec is surprisingly easy to grok given how much it does.

s/def jumped out at me as an out-of-the-box choice, that I could not
immediately rationalize.

So I'm wondering: why not just use standard def? What does one gain/lose?

This is not just an academic question. Lots of people like me look at
Clojure's APIs as an example to follow, so now I'm wondering when I should
make the same choice.

I asked Rich about this at the Lisp NYC meetup, the response was to the
effect of "vars are already overloaded, lets use a separate database",
which makes sense but the implications of that are not clicking.
