List Functions For A Namespace
You know that clojure.string has a function for uppercasing a string, but
you can't quite remember the name of the function. You'd remember if you saw
the name though. What you'd like to do is list all the functions in the
clojure.string namespace to see if you can pick it out.
You can do just that. There are a couple ways to do it, in fact.
You can use the dir function with Clojure 1.6+. Alternatively, you can
grab all the keys from the public intern mappings of the namespace.
