I'm working on a website with a frontender who asked to be able to save 
JSON maps that contain field names such as: 

"$$hashKey" : "00C"

The dollar signs are a violation of MongoDB limits on field names, so i 
need to convert to something else and then convert back. So I thought I 
would convert to * or !. Converting is no problem, but converting back is 
not working. I walk the deeply nested JSON objects with: 

(defn walk-deep-structure [next-item function-to-transform-values]
  (walk/postwalk
   (fn [%]
     (if (and (vector? %) (= (count %) 2) (keyword? (first %)))
       [(function-to-transform-values %) (second %)]
       %))
   next-item))

which I call like: 

        results (walk-deep-structure @future-data-return (fn [%] 
(st/replace (name (first %)) #"\*" "$")))]

which doesn't work. 

I switch to the repl to test this:

=> (def f  (fn [%] (st/replace (name (first %)) #"!" "$")))

=> (f [:!!username "michael"])

 StringIndexOutOfBoundsException String index out of range: 1 
 java.lang.String.charAt (String.java:695)

or: 

=>  (def f  (fn [%] (st/replace (name (first %)) #"\*" "$")))

=> (f [:**username "michael"])

 StringIndexOutOfBoundsException String index out of range: 1 
 java.lang.String.charAt (String.java:695)

What am I doing wrong?
