     :doc "This file defines a generic tree walker for Clojure data
structures.  It takes any data structure (list, vector, map, set,
seq), calls a function on every element, and uses the return value
of the function in place of the original.  This makes it fairly
easy to write recursive search-and-replace functions, as shown in
the examples.

Note: \"walk\" supports all Clojure data structures EXCEPT maps
created with sorted-map-by.  There is no (obvious) way to retrieve
the sorting function."}

(defn walk
  "Traverses form, an arbitrary data structure.  inner and outer are
  functions.  Applies inner to each element of form, building up a
  data structure of the same type, then applies outer to the result.
  Recognizes all Clojure data structures. Consumes seqs as with doall."

   (coll? form) (outer (into (empty form) (map inner form)))

(defn postwalk
  "Performs a depth-first, post-order traversal of form.  Calls f on
  each sub-form, uses f's return value in place of the original.
