Hi all,

for some tests I need a function which starts a new partition each time a 
predicate returns true, for instance:

(partition-when
  (fn [s] (.startsWith s ">>"))
  [">> 1" "2" "3" ">> 4" "5" "6"])
:=> [[">> 1" "2" "3"] [">> 4" "5" "6"]]

Since I haven't found a built-in function, I copied, pasted, and modified 
the core function partition-by:

(defn partition-when
  [f coll]
  (lazy-seq
   (when-let [s (seq coll)]
     (let [fst (first s)
           run (cons fst (take-while #(not (f %)) (next s)))]
       (cons run (partition-when f (seq (drop (count run) s))))))))

Is there a better (more idiomatic) way to achieve the same result?

Thank you in advance.

Frank
