`format` behavior on Clojure vs CLJS

[Shantanu Kumar]

Hi,

I noticed that on the Clojure REPL, `format` works fine:

user=> (format "foo%s" :s)
"foo:s"
user=> (format "foo%s" 's)
"foos"

However, on the CLJS REPL (Rhino), I get this:

ClojureScript:cljs.user> (format "foo%s" :s)
"foo���'s"
ClojureScript:cljs.user> (format "foo%s" 's)
"foo���'s"

Wanted to first confirm this is a bug before filing a ticket.

This seems like a bug to me. It's caused by an implementation detail of
ClojureScript (keywords and symbols are string starting with a specific
UTF8 byte sequence).

Yep, a bug.

OK, I filed the bug: http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJS-363

Screwed up the formatting though, and seems I can't edit the issue
anymore.
