fn literals are not allowed as predicates in catch

[arohner]

In a catch expression, fn literals appear to not be allowed:

Simple test case:

(try+
 (throw+ {:foo true})
 (catch #(-> % :foo (= false)) data
   (println "caught")))

Replace #(-> % :foo (= false)) with a named fn, and you get the expected behavior.

Does it work if you leave out the #?

Yes, everything works as expected without the #. I didn't think to try that because the docs ask for a "predicate", which I interpreted to mean as an actual IFn rather than an expression.

Thanks for the report! It's fixed in slingshot 0.10.2.

Thanks for the quick response!
