Thanks Baishampayan. I'm still puzzled about this though, because (doc str) says that with one argument x, str returns x.toString(). What it returns is "clojure.lang.LazySeq@fe1"
So it seems to be returning a lazy sequence. Why is the function not simply applied? Other functions are "applied" simple by expressing their form.
