Moreover, following the mailing discussion linked from the clojure.org
site, leads to the following quote from Rich - about 10 years ago :)
/If a protocol comes with Clojure itself, avoid extending it to types //
//you don't own, especially e.g. java.lang.String and other core Java //
//interfaces. Rest assured if a protocol should extend to it, it will, //
//else lobby for it. /

Well, the official Clojure guidelines are to NOT extend protocols,
unless you own either the protocol of the type(s) [1].
In particular these lines:/

/If you are a library developer, you should not extend if you own
neither the protocol nor the target./
/You should take particular care when extending protocols included

Kind regards,

Is there a reason you’ve mirrored those protocols/implementations
rather than just use Clojure’s built-in versions?
As it stands, your library wouldn’t work with other tooling that
builds on Clojure’s datafy/nav (REBL, for example).

Hi folks,
I'm looking for honest and constructive feedback on [1] - not so much
about the actual implementation (even though these are welcome too), but
rather about the general idea of basing everything on top of (mirrored
versions) `datafy` and `nav` (in this way). There is a TL;DR section at
the very bottom that describes the approach in 4 short sentences.
Many thanks in advance,
Dimitris
