Since there does seem to be some interest, I have just added my first experimentations on this topic to clojure.contrib. Look at clojure.contrib.generic.arithmetic for multimethods that make it possible to define the basic arithmetic operations + - * / for any data type. But be aware that this is highly experimental and very likely to change in the future.
