Hello ..
 Just my two cents.. I think the ability to specify an equality function
when creating the multi-method would solve the problem.

for example

(defmulti foo dispatch-fn equality-fn)

would be very nice. one can use arbitrary functions to match ... which may
be reimplemented at users wish to achieve say wild-card support..

Probably it is already happening .. I don't know.
Thanks,
Sunil.
