The docstring of clojure.core/pr https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/clojure-1.7.0/src/clj/clojure/core.clj#L3552-L3555
actually says (in lieu of a formal EDN specification?) "pr and prn print in a way that objects can be read by the reader" ...and the example I showed appears to violate that. Here's a minimal failing case: user> (read-string (with-out-str (pr {(clojure.core/keyword "key word") 1})) ) RuntimeException Map literal must contain an even number of forms clojure.lang.Util.runtimeException (Util.java:221) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
