Page 84 is where it shows that maps are a sequence of pairs.

The destructuring in James's code is on vectors -- the pairs in the
sequence.

Hope that helps?

Page 84 describes the sequence abstraction in general but it's the implicit seq in for destructuring that threw me as I can't recall an example of it in any books I've read. I don't know what to make of this, for example:

(seq {:a "aa" :b "bb" :c "cc"})
([:c "cc"] [:b "bb"] [:a "aa"])   ;; Fine so far

(let [[x y z] (seq {:a "aa" :b "bb" :c "cc"})] [x y z])
[[:c "cc"] [:b "bb"] [:a "aa"]]   ;; Consistent with first example above

(for [[x y z] {:a "aa" :b "bb" :c "cc"}] [x y z])
([:c "cc" nil] [:b "bb" nil] [:a "aa" nil])    ;; WTF?

Taken together these make no sense to me.
