Thanks Andy, ya I actually realized this, I'm using a custom reader literal now 
instead.

Why have keywords at all then? What does a space add that somehow negates the 
premise of keywords?

I see keywords over strings give you interning, namespaces, and the semantic 
that this value serves as an identifier. What's wrong with having that and a 
space as well?

Also, to be more specific to my use case. If I convert ION symbols to Clojure 
strings, I've lost information, and can no longer convert back to the same ION.

I need to do ION -> EDN -> ION in a lossless way. Piggybacking on keywords 
seemed easiest.
