All,
I would think that changing or wrapping the map would create confusion
and additional overhead. In my mind the most natural interaction would
be to provide a way for Java code to create references to keywords:
x = map.get(clojure.keyword("foo")); // ... or something along
these lines
I'll take a look at the Clojure code but I expect that this would be
easy to do. Any methods that try to mash strings and keywords into the
same space seems like it would be mostly application specific as it
would need to resolve cases where identically named keywords and
strings exist. The only safe cases would be when a map exclusively
contains strings or keywords.
Naturally, wouldn't want to demand that you don't want to do what, in
fact, you want to do. I think Clojure would best cater to the safe,
predictable cases and leave the hairy cases up to individual
developers.
