Hey folks,

I just want to reassure y'all that I am working on this. It took a while to 
create a test environment: one of the challenges of using invokedynamic is 
that the Java language does not support it; so the best way to test right 
now is with ASM 4.0, which is still not officially released. Documentation 
on the opcode is also somewhat scattered, and mostly out of date, since 
JSR-292 has changed quite a bit until the final release. The JRuby folk are 
definitely at the cutting edge of this right (well, after all, JRuby's John 
Rose is the key mover and architect behind the JSR), and I'm trying to learn 
from their implementation. Right now I'm working on a code tree outside the 
main Clojure source, and once that seems to work, I will try to merge it 
into a branch.

So, it's not *quite* as easy as I hoped, but I still think it will be much 
easier to use invokedynamic in Clojure than in JRuby.

I'll keep the mailing list updated on my (slow) progress, and will 
definitely make the code public once it becomes ... presentable.
