I've occasionally wanted this and haven't found it.
(defn named?
"True if object is compatible with the 'name' function.
There must be a clojure built-in to do this but I haven't figured it out
yet."
[x]
(or (string? x)
(keyword? x)
(symbol? x)))
Note that simply doing (instance? clojure.lang.Named x) won't work for
strings, but the (name) function does.
Anyway, I'm thinking there's a built in way to do this without defining the
above function. Suggestions?
My use case is simply that I want to call the name function for objects
that support it in a translation function.
