When the compiler encounters a non-namespace-qualified symbol in the code, it first resolves it to a Var. For example, the symbol 'inc normally gets resolved to #'clojure.core/inc; however, after you (declare inc) in the user namespace, it resolves to #'user/inc. Calls going through Vars in clojure.core receive special treatment for speed, which is why you can't rebind them. Note that with the upcoming :static functions we'll all be free to have our Vars behave this way (at a finer, per Var granularity level).
