Consider updating/removing suggestions about complement, partial and comp

[danielcompton]

I think I feel the same way, especially with comp. Sometimes they're better, sometimes I think they make code harder to read; I wouldn't make a blanket recommendation for them.

Rich has said multiple times he thinks anonymous functions are more idiomatic than those others and I think he even said that he might omit those others if he did Clojure over?

So, yeah, I agree these recommendations in the guide are probably overreach or at least very subjective.

My line of thought exactly.

I've updated the guidelines as discussed above. See https://github.com/bbatsov/clojure-style-guide#anonymous-functions-vs-complement-comp-and-partial

I guess that's a good argument to flip the guidelines then.
