possible unmentioned syntax sugar

[jkroso]

I struggled a bit with chapter 4 where it shows that if you put a variable in the attribute position it will become an attribute entity id rather than a keyword as I would of expected. Does that mean that this:

[:find ?p
 :where
 [?p :person/name "jake"]]

Is really just syntax sugar for this:

[:find ?p
 :where
 [?a :db/ident :person/name]
 [?p ?a "jake"]]

If so I think it would be worth a mention
