Stu Halloway, Changes like this are a nuisance as a documentation guy >:| It makes Beta seem further away, but it's a tough call and someone has to make it. Such is life on the edge.
As far as technical feedback goes, it seems like a VERY useful list to promote to core. There are a few things I'd tweak: I'd like to see a specific proposal for replace & replace-first. Stuart Sierra put a lot of effort into getting those fns the way they are in contrib, and we should be careful to not undo any lessons learned in the process. Also, this may beg a few questions about new seq fns existing in core, depending on the implementation. You also mention making the string argument first in some of these fns. I believe Will Smith's catch phrase says it best: "Aw hell no". String fns are like any other seq fn, and they need to be partial'ed, comp'ed and chained appropriately. I can't even begin to count the number of point free string processing routines I have. Overall, this is exciting. We're getting close to making "String Processing Kick Ass in Clojure".
