Thanks for the feedback. I actually decided to stay with defrecord as
well --> already seeing the benefits of extending protocols later on.

There is no problem for this particular testing use case, but I was a
bit worried that a function might eval differently accordingly to how
it was called. But then I realized that's alright and it's totally
fine in the lisp world.


By the way, is anyone aware of any way to destroy a class that was generated?
Situation is that I might have dynamically generated records. They may
be no longer used, in these cases, it might make sense to remove the
generated bytecode  and unload from classloader.

cheers,
Pedro
