Easier navigation of subforms

[jonathanj]

I hope I'm not missing something obvious but navigating into (and out of) subforms seems to be more difficult than one would hope it would be in a Lisp. For example imagine the following Clojure code:

(defn some-function
  "Some
   docstring."
  [x]
  (if (= x 42)
    "That's the answer!"
    (str x " is not the answer")))

If the cursor is at |(defn (perhaps by way of using [[ or ]] to navigate) and one wanted to navigate into the function to add a parameter, for example but imagine introducing another let assignment, adjusting a condition, etc., how would one achieve this? Currently I believe you have to move the cursor into the form you wish to subnavigate and use the sibling motion keys but then of course this navigates elements and not forms.

I believe you're missing the following from paredit:

paredit-forward-down
paredit-forward-up
paredit-backward-down
paredit-backward-up

I've pointed out the lack of these commands and several others in issue #5 .

Something like vim-easymotion could definitely facilitate traversing levels until the aforementioned list navigation commands become available. In fact, for jumps of more than a level or two, I could even imagine easymotion being faster (though perhaps less aesthetically pleasing) than the corresponding paredit-like commands.
