Description

There is no clojure.core/dissoc-in although there is an assoc-in.
It is correct that dissoc-in can be build with update-in and dissoc but this is an argument against assoc-in as well.
When a shortcut for assoc-in is provided, there should also be one for dissoc-in for consistency reasons.
Implementation is analogical to assoc-in.

Patch clj-1063-add-dissoc-in-patch-v2.txt dated Sep 13 2012 supersedes 001-dissoc-in.diff dated Sep 7 2012. It fixes a typo (missing final " in doc string), and adds a test case for the new function.

This proposed dissoc-in should be compared with the one in clojure.core.incubator which I just happened across. I see they look different, but haven't examined to see if there are any behavior differences.

dissoc-in in clojure.core.incubator recursively removes empty maps

user=> (clojure.core.incubator/dissoc-in {:a {:b {:c 1}}} [:a :b :c])
{}

while the one in this patch doesn't (as I would expect)

user=> (dissoc-in {:a {:b {:c 1}}} [:a :b :c])
{:a {:b {}}}
