Thanks Stuart. You are probably right. But may be there can be a modified defn-auto-coerce .. Thats just a thought .. May be I will try to implement it . .but would love to hear any pointers you may have in that direction before I go it myself.. I am still an ametuer when it comes to Clojure .. so I want it to be a learning exercise too...
