Say that I have the following:

-- ns1.clj --
(ns multi.ns1)
(defrecord Animal [name])


-- ns2.clj --
(ns multi.ns2)
(defrecord Animal [name])

-- core.clj --
(ns multi.core
  (:require [multi.ns1]
            [multi.ns2])
  (import [multi.ns1 Animal]
          [multi.ns2 Animal]))


My intent is to have a multimethod with target such as:

(defmethod stringify multi.ns1.Animal ...)
(defmethod stringify multi.ns2.Animal ...)

My problem is that I'm forced to use import to bring in the records defined 
in ns1 and ns2, but once I do this, I lose the ability to refer to these 
classes by their fully-qualified names and the following conflict occurs.

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Animal already refers to: class 
multi.ns1.Animal

This actually works from the repl, which tells me it's getting the records 
onto the classpath ahead of time.



multi.core=> (require 'multi.ns1)
nil
multi.core=> (require 'multi.ns2)
nil
multi.core=> multi.ns1.Animal
multi.ns1.Animal

I bumped into this in the process of exploring the expression problem. Is 
there a way around it?
