Much of what you've described is either provided by "newnew", or is relatively easy to produce with a couple of macro wrappers involving gen-interface and newnew: http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/clojure/New_new The sands are shifting in that area though, as it's definitely bleeding-edge. I'm certain contributions are welcome, but be prepared for some potential whiplash as the details are worked out.
