Hi Alex, Yes, you are right. I was mistaken. The "keyword" function does produce what I want.
I didn't realized that in my code I was actually doing this: (keyword (str ":something" "-empty")) The colon in front of "something" was making me make a namespaced keyword. Removing the colon fixed my issue. Thanks!
