What might be a Clojurey syntax for doing path navigation? In other words
how could get-in be extended so that it could parse nested vectors like it
parses nested maps? Thinking out aloud, an integer in the path when the
data structure at that level is a vector should treat the integer as an
index.

What about ALL? What would be Clojurey way of doing ALL? How about asterisk
*? Or maybe underscore _? Or nil?

Thoughts?
