Hi,

use the factory function.

Clojure 1.3.0
user=> (defrecord car [year manufacturer])
user.car
user=> (defn create [stuff] (stuff 1982 "Mercedes Benz"))
#'user/create
user=> (create ->car)
#user.car{:year 1982, :manufacturer "Mercedes Benz"}

You can't pass car. around at runtime because it is a class. And instantiating 
a class is hard-wired in the byte code. Hence the actual class must be known at 
compile time. ->car however is a normal clojure function. So you can pass it 
around as you like.

Sincerely
Meikel
