I'm wondering if it's possible to create a Clojure function that does what the dot operator does. It seems like this would be possible with definline but I'm unable to get this to work or figure it out. For example I want to be able write something like the following: (dot "Hello world" (list 'substring 1 2))
Trying to use definline like this: (definline dot [obj member-exp] `(. ~obj (~...@member-expr))) Simply throws an error. I don't need variable arity, I will always pass an instance or class following by a list representing the member expression. Is this impossible? It seems like this would be generally useful to allow variable method calling on Java objects. As to why I want it to implement this, it would be far simpler to support Java interop from clj-cont if the dot operator could be expressed as a Clojure function. Thanks!
