That's fair, except that it's a little disappointing that I can't reference nested structures from Clojure in the natural way, akin to Java. In Java, if I had imported NestedStatics, I could reference NestedStatics.LevelOne without bringing LevelOne into my namespace (and possibly into conflict with other imports!). In Clojure, however, it appears that any class that I want to reference needs to be fully qualified or explicitly imported into my own namespace.
