I think intuitively, select-keys is about *restricting* the existing map in some way -- you expect things like the metadata and the type of the map to stay the same. Similarly, my intuition tells me that if you want a new kind of map, you'd have to "pour" the contents of the map into the other type of map via into. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
