I would like to print sorted maps readably (otherwise my sorted maps
when printed and read back get turned into the default map), so I
tried this:
(defmethod print-method clojure.lang.PersistentTreeMap [o,
#^java.io.Writer w]
(let [eprint (fn eprint [e sep?] (do (print-method (key e) w)
(.write w " ")
(print-method (val e) w)
(if sep? (.write w ",") )))]
(.write w (if *print-readably* "#=(sorted-map " "{"))
(loop [s (seq o)]
(if (rest s)
(do (eprint (first s) true) (recur (rest s)))
(eprint (first s) nil)))
(.write w (if *print-readably* ")" "}"))))
But when I try to prefer this:
(prefer-method print-method clojure.lang.PersistentTreeMap
clojure.lang.IPersistentMap)
I get an exception because clojure.lang.IPersistentMap is already
preferred to clojure.lang.PersistentTreeMap.
Questions:
Where does the preference for IPersistentMap come from? Is it from the
following in boot.clj:
(prefer-method print-method clojure.lang.IPersistentMap
java.util.Map)
since PersistentTreeMap is a java.util.Map?
Is there a work-around to allow what I'm trying to do?
Can MultiFn be changed to allow inspection of the preferTable? I'm
thinking something like (get-prefers multifn) which would return the
preferTable to help with diagnosing problems such as the above.
