Actually, I shouldn't have worded this as a json issue. It's really a core problem that keywords with spaces can't be serialized/ deserialized. A keyword is basically a String, and the language definition does not preclude keywords from having spaces. (keyword "a b c") works, and so does (get m (keyword "a b c")) - on an appropriately created map
