Damn. Those weren't listed on any of the documentation pages that list
special forms.

Hm. You may be right. For instance, it looks like new always treats
its arg as a classname, even if it's locally shadowed:

user=> (new 3 11)
IllegalArgumentException
user=> (let [Integer 3] (new Integer 11))
11

I'll look into this further.

Is there documentation anywhere that lists *all* of the lowest-level
(true, like fn* and unlike fn) special forms?
