I think this can be dealt with easily enough. If callability from Java is desired, you could give the interface an explicit name, in effect, using existing facilities such as records and protocols and gen-class; or write an explicit interface in Java and implement it using proxy; or etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
