As a consequence of the destructuring specs being implemented in terms of `s/keys`, defining a spec for `::keys` or `::strs` is problematic at the moment, because it will conflict with trying to use `::keys` for destructuring:

user=> (require '[clojure.spec :as s])
nil
user=> (s/def ::keys nil?)
:user/keys
user=> (let [{::keys [a]} {::a 1}] a)
ExceptionInfo Call to clojure.core/let did not conform to spec:
In: [0 0] val: #:user{:keys [a]} fails spec: :clojure.core.specs/local-name at: [:args :bindings :binding :sym] predicate: simple-symbol?
In: [0 0 0] val: ([:user/keys [a]]) fails spec: :clojure.core.specs/seq-binding-form at: [:args :bindings :binding :seq] predicate: (cat :elems (* :clojure.core.specs/binding-form) :rest (? (cat :amp #{(quote &)} :form :clojure.core.specs/binding-form)) :as (? (cat :as #{:as} :sym :clojure.core.specs/local-name))),  Extra input
In: [0 0 :user/keys] val: [a] fails spec: :user/keys at: [:args :bindings :binding :map :user/keys] predicate: nil?
:clojure.spec/args  ([#:user{:keys [a]} #:user{:a 1}] a)
  clojure.core/ex-info (core.clj:4725)


This feels like an implementation detail leak.

I also just ran in to this problem. Just wanted to say that I'd like to see a fix, but I'm not quite sure about the proposed solution. Or, at least, the name "closed?" seems to imply a non-extensible map, when in reality the flag more or less means "not a map that participates in the global keys system", for which I do not have a better name suggestion.

The proposed patch is a non-starter. I have some ideas on how to address this, but just haven't gotten around to working on it yet.

Removed proposal and patch from the ticket as we will not be going this direction. Captured here for reference:

"The attached patch implements a proposed solution to this issue, by adding a :closed? option to s/keys and using it for the destructuring spec. If s/keys is used with :closed? set to true, conform will only validate declared specs as opposed to the default behaviour of s/keys of validating all namespaced keywords with existing specs.

After this patch, the above example runs fine and usages of s/keys without :closed? set to true will validate against ::keys as per current behaviour.

Patch: close-destructuring-keys-specs.diff"
