(name x)

Details:

Returns the name string of a possibly namespace-qualified keyword or symbol.

Equivalent to identity for strings.

Examples:

With namespaces:

(name :foo/bar)
;;=> "bar"

(name 'foo/bar)
;;=> "bar"

Without namespaces:

(name :foo)
;;=> "foo"

(name 'foo)
;;=> "foo"

Strings have no concept of a namespace:

(name "foo/bar")
;;=> "foo/bar"

(name "foo")
;;=> "foo"
