Agreed. The whole point of a map is to provide key-based lookup.
Iterating over all (key, value) pairs in the map makes sense,
not so much looking for one in particular.

Btw I am new to Clojure and I found this whole thread extremely
illuminating. It does seem to go to the heart of some aspects
of Clojure's design.
