I don't think so. The standard library doesn't, at any rate.
Note that predicates don't necessarily have to return literal true or
false: in my opinion at least, it's perfectly reasonable to write
(def my-predicate? #{:foo :bar})
-- it'll behave correctly in if and when, but the return value will
actually be a keyword or nil, not true or false.

Certainly seems odd to me.
