Hi!

I stumbled on a difference of behavior in using a variable vs. let
binding. It may even be a bug in Clojure.

Using Java 1.6 and Clojure 1.1 or 1.2, if you execute the following
code

<code>
(import
 'javax.xml.crypto.dsig.XMLSignatureFactory
 'javax.xml.crypto.dsig.Transform)

(def fac (XMLSignatureFactory/getInstance "DOM"))

(let [tf (. fac newTransform Transform/ENVELOPED nil)]
  tf)

(let [fac (XMLSignatureFactory/getInstance "DOM")
      tf (. fac newTransform Transform/ENVELOPED nil)]
  tf)
</code>

the first let works OK while the second one breaks with stack trace
and the error "More than one matching method found: newTransform".
There are really two methods with this name and the second parameter
nil does not differentiate them enough, but I'd like to know why the
first call, with the fac as a variable, succeeds. Which method of the
two does it call?

Maks.
