This is basically exactly what I've been thinking about.
I was going to get the cheatsheet into a place where I could use it easily so I
could ask:
(sente [1 2 3])
Since [1 2 3] is a clojure.lang.PersistentVector, we could return functions
that operate specifically on that type.
But the ideal case is exactly what you're saying, and what I've wanted to
figure out for a long time. Kibit seems like a template for doing this sort of
thing, but it will take a lot of training to get it to be useful. It's
certainly a non-trivial problem.
