Stuart, I still think in a very OO way - which is probably why I am having difficulty with this :-)
A common OO pattern is to encapsulate complex resource acquisition/release within a class. I can do this with gen-class - since I control ctor args and the instances initial state, as well as having post-init for when some part of my initialisation requires a reference to itself. I'm guessing that I can't do this with deftype/reify - so this might be another reason to fall back on gen-class ? [although I could leave space for an atom in my state and provide ctor/dtor fns which read/wrote this atom... - so I suppose this would be one way around the problem,,,] Would you mind clarifying ?
