Is there a way to convert a Clojure form to a string? E.g. convert:
(and (f 1) (g 3))
to:
"(and (f 1) (g 3))"

=> (defmacro string-it [x] (str x))
#'user/string-it
=> (string-it (+ 1 2))
"(+ 1 2)"

Alternativly if you don't know the form before hand you can do,
(defmacro to-str [f]
(str f))
(to-str (and (f 1) (g 3)))
and get,
"(and (f 1) (g 3))"

You can do this:
(str '(and (f 1) (g 3)))
EDIT
In case you're not familiar with it, the ' ("quote") character is a reader macro character (more) that escapes code -- i.e. keeps it from being evaluated.
You could also set a variable:
(def x '(and (f 1) (g 3)))
(str x)
and then if you wanted to run the code you could eval it.
