I figure since new is expecting a class at compiletime, we can never pass
it a class that we evaluate at runtime(those locals), ergo => impossible to
macro around "new" like that

like this => impossible:
*(let [a java.lang.RuntimeException]
         (macro-that-eventually-calls-new a))*

maybe someone could suggest another way? clojure.reflect ?
