Hi,

I'm new to lisp and clojure, so what follows may be a very easy (i.e.
stupid) question...

I want a macro to generate multi-methods. Here is the macro I crafted:

(defmacro mcf [type class set-expr & forms]
  '(defmethod make ~type [fd controller]
     (let [control (new ~class)]
       (doto control
         ~@(map (fn [f] f) forms)
         (~set-expr (. controller link control (:uid fd)))))))

For instance, I want this:
(mcf :String JTextField .setText (.setColumns 15) (.setEditable
false))

To generate this:

(defmethod make :String [fd controller]
  (let [control (new JTextField)]
    (doto control
      (.setColumns 15)
      (.setEditable false)
      (.setText (. controller link control (:uid fd))))))

For some reason, controller, link, control and fd don't seem to be
handled properly. No matter what escaping I try (quotes, semi-quotes),
I always get some error similar to "No such var: clojure.core/link".

Clojure seems to think "link" is a variable in the namespace while it
is in fact a (java) method on the controller. I just want to output
the last part verbatim (. controller link control...), I want no ahead-
of-time dereferencing...

What am I missing? Is it even possible?

Thanks,

Max
