Implement reader literal and print support for PersistentQueue data structure
Description
Clojure's PersistentQueue structure has been in the language for quite some time now and has found its way into a fair share of codebases. However, the creation of queues is a two step operation often of the form:
A better experience might be the following:
This syntax is proposed and discussed in the Clojure-dev group at https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/clojure-dev/GQqus5Wycno
Open question: Should the queue literal's arguments eval? The implications of this are illustrated below:
The answer to this open question will determine the implementation.

clj-976-queue-literal-eval-and-synquote-patch-v2.txt dated Oct 5 2012 is identical to Fogus's patch CLJ-976-queue-literal-eval-and-synquote.diff dated Jul 20 2012. It simply removes one line addition to clojure.iml that Rich has since added in a different commit, so that this patch now applies cleanly to latest master.

Fogus, with the recent commit of a patch for CLJ-1070, my touched-up patch clj-976-queue-literal-eval-and-synquote-patch-v3.txt dated Oct 16 2012 doesn't apply cleanly. In this case it isn't simply a few lines of context that have changed, it is the interfaces that PersistentQueue implements have been changed. It might be best if you take a look at the latest code and the patch and consider how it should be updated.
Related to CLJ-1078.
Moving back to Triaged as Rich has not vetted.
