I have a fairly common scenario where I have a set of operations that need to work on two types of data (not "data types" in the clojure sense) that have different internal structure (i.e. maps with different keys). I could write a generic function that operates on both types of map.
I'm not sure I follow why you need polymorphic behavior of any form...the operations that need to operate on 2 internally different maps can take the keys to 'touch' as parameters couldn't they? Then it is truly generic...if this is not practical you can always make a HOF that returns the appropriate handler for the data-type you're examining at any given time...meta-data could help you distinguish between the maps...
