From http://clojure.org/metadata:
Symbols and collections support metadata, a map of data about the
symbol or collection
Keywords are not symbols in Clojure and they don't support metadata.
That makes sense when you consider that there can be only one copy of
each keyword at runtime, so there would be no way for two to be equal,
but have different metadata.
