Having modern Clojure features at hand, and free from having to support old
versions and existing application code, Dunaj has more freedom to test new
things and can take more liberal and fresh approach.

Next experiment is a short one, a bit opinionated, and it mainly deals with 
how Dunaj designs its public API.

Experiment #4: Towards Simpler API

With core API splitted into separate namespaces and with protocols being 
used to specify core abstractions, Dunaj further simplifies its API by 
providing and adhering to additional idioms, conventions and best 
practices. Moreover, Dunaj changes how compiler recognizes special symbols 
and makes them fully qualified.
