Reviving an old thread. I have a case where I convert ION to Clojure, and ION has a SYMBOL type, which can be any UTF-8 character, including spaces. I though of making them keywords in Clojure, since they serve the same purpose, to be used as identifiers. I can create such keyword with the keyword function, but they don't serialize to EDN and back using the default printer and reader.
I'm thinking of extending the printer like tbc++ says so keywords are printed as (keyword "string") instead. Does anyone believe there is something that's going to bite me later if I do this?
