Perhaps not significant to you. But to others it means that they can write
high performance data structures in Clojure itself that other people can
benefit from. To me that's far more compelling than convenient string
comparison operators. Consider the implementation of gvec.clj:
https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/clj/clojure/gvec.clj. I
wonder what "negligible performance impact" you change would have on that?

It might more sense to put what you're suggesting in clojure.string.
