I'm keeping a map of currently traced functions and the key is the

namespaced-qualified symbol of the function. See git://github.com/ kreg/traceme.git

        user=> `doc
        clojure.core/doc
        user=> (class `doc)
        clojure.lang.Symbol





        user=> (var doc)
        #'clojure.core/doc
        user=> ({ (var doc) "it's doc"} (var doc))
        "it's doc"
        user=> #'doc
        #'clojure.core/doc
        user=> ({ #'doc "it's doc"} #'doc)
        "it's doc"

The reader will (with the help of the compiler) resolve an unqualified symbol if it's prefixed with syntax quote: I don't know of a way to do this using only Clojure code at runtime except by using the reader. There are ways to do it by calling the compiler directly using Java. In this case, would it be adequate to use the var itself as the key in your map rather than the qualified symbol?:
