What would an `update` function do? update-in is for swapping out a value accessible via a particular "chain" of keys. Dropping the -in suffix implies to me that `update` would operate on the top-level data structure, but that's what assoc/dissoc/conj do already. - Chas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
