I kind of accidently discovered that you can create keywords with an embedded 
spaceā€¦ not sure if that's a good idea, but you can:

user=> (def k (keyword "jaja nee"))
#'user/k
user=> (str k)
":jaja nee"
user=> (name k)
"jaja nee"
user=> (keyword? k)
true
user=> (keyword? :jaja nee)
CompilerException java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to resolve symbol: nee in 
this context, compiling:(NO_SOURCE_PATH:15) 
user=> (keyword? :jaja\ nee)
RuntimeException Unsupported character: \ nee  
clojure.lang.Util.runtimeException (Util.java:156)
RuntimeException Unmatched delimiter: )  clojure.lang.Util.runtimeException 
(Util.java:156)
user=> (keyword? :jaja\\ nee)
CompilerException java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to resolve symbol: nee in 
this context, compiling:(NO_SOURCE_PATH:17) 
user=> 

The Q is how do you escape such an embedded space such that the reader will 
interpret it as a keyword?
