okay, new take solving the issue raised by Mark: (defn uniquify [in format-fn] (loop [[item :as in] (seq in) {n item :as item-nbrs} {} out []] (if-not in out (let [format-fn (if n format-fn (constantly item)) new-item (format-fn item n)] (recur (next in) (merge-with (fnil + 0) item-nbrs (hash-map item 1 new-item 1)) (conj out new-item))))))
=> (uniquify ["a" "b" "c" "a" "a_1" "a_1" "a"] #(str %1 "_" %2)) ["a" "b" "c" "a_1" "a_1_1" "a_1_2" "a_2"] 2014/1/10 Colin Yates <colin.ya...@gmail.com> > Gosh - my public humiliation continues.
