No, this only explains why (def ^{:dynamic true} *my-test* false) (set! *my-test* true) causes an error. What it doesn't explain is why (set! *warn-on-reflection* true) works just fine. Is the REPL running inside a binding? Is it possible to add other forms of this binding? Or not? And if it is okay to use set! on *warn-on-reflection*, why is it not okay to allow me, as the library developer, to define similar properties for my library which work in a similar way.
