title: Which is the most clojuresque way to compare characters and string? (single char string)
body: <p>I was wondering about which is the best (clojuresque) way to compare a character and a string in Clojure.
  Obviously something like that returns false:</p>
  
  <pre><code>(= (first "clojure") "c")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>because <em>first</em> returns a <em>java.lang.Character</em> and "c" is a single character string. Does exists a construct to compare directly char and string without invoking a cast? I haven't found a way different from this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>(= (str (first "clojure")) "c")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I'm not satisfied. 
  Any ideas?
  Bye,
  Alfredo</p>
