This is a pretty embryonic idea, but I'm wondering if anyone has thought the same, or seen relevant examples/literature.
The idea is: What if we could attach protocols to symbols themselves? so (foo '(bar 1)) would have its behavior defined by a protocol implemented on the symbol bar. This could be a way to create symbolic systems in clojure. Besides being of theoretical interest, symbolic systems can be a composable way to achieve metaprogramming. We could instruct that any expression should be first interpreted symbolically with a tag like #symbolic -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
