I came up with a couple options:
((into {} (map (comp vec reverse) char-name-string)) "newline")
(read-string "\\newline")

're-pattern' is correct, but remember that literal strings have
different quoting rules than literal regex.

#^ adds metadata at read-time, so there's no way for a function to do
exactly the same thing, though 'with-meta' does something similar at
runtime.

'var'
That is, (var ensure) is the same as #'ensure

Those and ~ as well translate to a complex set of clojure
data-structure-building functions, all of which are available as
functions. These include 'list', 'cons', 'concat', etc.
