Hi Neils,
If I've understood you correctly, can you just redefine the protocol
implementation for Associative? E.g.
(defprotocol ProtX
(do-thing [x]))
=> ProtX
(extend clojure.lang.Associative
ProtX
{:do-thing (fn [x] (str/lower-case (get x :a-val)))})
=> nil
(do-thing {:a-val "Some String"})
=> "some string"
(extend clojure.lang.Associative
ProtX
{:do-thing (fn [x] (str/upper-case (get x :a-val)))})
=> nil
(do-thing {:a-val "Some String"})
=> "SOME STRING"
