Yes,
but with numbers and Clojure 1.2, be careful to always use the same kind of
"wrapper" (java.lang.Integer or java.lang.Long) or you'll be in trouble:
user=> (def m { "a b c" "first", (Integer. "2") "second", (Long. "3")
"third"})
#'user/m
user=> (get m "a b c")
"first"
user=> (get m (Integer. "2"))
"second"
user=> (get m (Long. "2"))
nil
user=> (get m 2)
"second"
user=> (get m 3)
nil
