Thanks for the pointers. I've gotten as far as grouping the keys by the 
prefix using `group-by`, and added clunky support for keys that aren't 
nested like so:

``` clj
(defn- nested-key [k]
  (some-> (re-matches #"^(.*)--(.*)$" (name k))
          second
          keyword))

(defn nest-relations
  "Walks the given hash-map, and moves any keys of the form
  <group>--<key> into a nested hash-map."
  [m]
  (let [grouped (group-by (fn [[k _]] (or (nested-key k) ::top)) m)
        top (::top grouped)]
    (-> grouped
        (dissoc ::top)
        (merge top))))
```

I end up with vectors instead of hash-maps, and I'm particularly happy with 
the code, but it's getting there.
