I tend to associate "bean" with Java beans, so the naming seems to be
reversed IMHO: "bean" should convert a Clojure map to a Java bean, and
"unbean" should do the reverse.
In Scheme-speak they would be map->bean and bean->map, which might be
a bit verbose.
It's getting late here so I don't have time to test, but would a
recursive map be converted to a recursive bean (i.e. some elements are
themselves beans) and vice versa with your functions?
