I've been reading about some of the clever things Scala does to allow safer monkeypatching and this started me thinking about Clojure's approach to this technique. Maybe I'm overlooking something but is this just a non-issue in Clojure? Since functions aren't attached to objects it seems to me you can just define a new function on an existing type or another method clause in a multi or if necessary. Maybe you have to be careful about messing around with an established type hierarchy or multi definition but it doesn't seem to me you need any special machinery to make this work, right?
