Tassilo, Jeroen,

I used gen-class because Chas Emerick's type selection flowchart 
(https://github.com/cemerick/clojure-type-selection-flowchart) indicated that 
it was needed in order to allow named classes and interface implementations, 
and that's what I thought I needed.  However, perhaps that's not necessary at 
this stage.  I'll see what can be done with deftype, defrecord, and/or 
defprotocol.

Tassilo, I don't call step() directly.  It's called automatically by a 
scheduler object in SimState, which is the superclass of Students.  So step() 
has to be visible to Java.  I think I have to use gen-class for the Student 
class in order to allow the Students (i.e. SimState) class to find the step 
method.  But as I said, I'm going to see if I can make do with deftype, 
defrecord, etc.  Emerick's flowchart is not 100% complete--there are just too 
many cases.  I'll explore your other suggestions, too.  (I only added type 
hints when they made a difference to speed.  For each new type hint, I checked 
whether it made a difference, and took out the ones that didn't.)
