Not totally following you here as: (proxy [clojure.lang.IMeta clojure.lang.IRef][]) immediately throws an error. I can't think of a situation in Clojure where the type function does not return a usable value. Let me know if I'm wrong, but your example is not a case as far as I can tell. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
