Well, it’s worth noting that clojure.core/name does account for strings
<https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/clojure-1.9.0-alpha5/src/clj/clojure/core.clj#L1577-L1583>
:
(defn name
"Returns the name String of a string, symbol or keyword."
{:tag String
:added "1.0"
:static true}
[x]
(if (string? x) x (. ^clojure.lang.Named x (getName))))
So one *could* argue that named? should recognize strings in addition to
keywords and symbols. No comment on whether such a predicate is a good idea
though.
