title: How can I convert a keyword to a symbol suitable to access a slot?
body: <p>I have a class with a number of slots. I also have a builder function to make objects of that class such that passing the following list <code>'(:id "john" :name "John Doe" :age 42)</code> to that function will construct a new object with those slots values. I will use that function to generate more than one object, using a list of lists.</p>
  
  <p>How can I convert from a keyword like <code>:id</code> to a slot name that <code>SLOT-VALUE</code> can use?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
