The following form fails in Clojure 1.0, but was fixed in 1.1:

    (eval '(do (require 'clojure.inspector) clojure.inspector/inspect))

It used to fail because it tried to compile the whole quoted form, but
it couldn't compile the inspect reference because the require hadn't
been run yet. I think it's great that it works in 1.1, but I'm boggled
as to how it works. Does the compiler split apart certain forms like
do and compile/run each form separately? It seems like it wouldn't be
possible to make this work without multiple passes, but I'm curious
how it's done.
