aaa of course, if you do want to *read* the keyword in, use
read-string...there is no point in getting rid of the ':' and then
essentially re-inserting it!

I have been doing stuff like (str type-as-keyword) to push values
into HTML forms, which leaves me with a string like ":cities" when
the HTML forms are submitted. I might fetch them like:
(let [this-item (get-in request [:params "answers"]))
If I then do:
this-item-as-keyword (keyword this-item)
I get a value like:
::cities
but I do not want the double colons. I find myself doing awkward
things like:
(st/replace (str (:name item)) #":" "")
to remove the colon from the string before I transform the string
into a keyword.
I assume there must be a more elegant way to do this?
(Someone might be tempted to say that I should not put the
keywords into HTML forms, but that doesn't solve the problem, as I
then have to call (st/replace) before I put the value in the form,
rather than when I receive the form input -- in other words, that
"solution" changes when I have to remove the colon, but does not
fix the problem.)
