Yes, you are right about the lexical binding; I suspect that is less likely to hit people though. I don't know why I keep typing
(instance? String) but I've done it a lot. Possibly because I am using a Java API with a lot of very similar classes; by the time I have managed to find out which class I need to check, I've forgotten what I was doing in the first place. Thanks for opening the ticket!
