i guess i'm horribly confused about the right mental model for all of this, apologies. e.g. it sounds like the only way i can get a type to participate in an interface is if i control the source file that has the deftype. i thought in previous versions of the new branch i could use extend to get a type i don't own to participate in an interface, which seems desirable. maybe i am horribly confabulating. perhaps the idea would be to make a new protocol that 'mirrors' the already existing interface somehow? thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
