Hi,

maybe this gives you a hint, one why it happens:

user=> (let [k :xyz] (macroexpand-1 '(swizzle* Vec3 v k {})))
(new Vec3 (. v k) {})

The problem is that swizzle* is a macro. It has no access to runtime 
information! It sees only the symbol not its value. Calling it with a 
literal keyword works, thusly. You could hardwire some functions in case 
the number of coordinates is always three:

(defmacro defswizzlers
  []
  (let [v (gensym "v")]
    `(do ~@(for [x "xyz"
                 y "xyz"
                 z "xyz"]
             `(defn ~(symbol (str x y z))
                [~(with-meta v {:tag `Vec3})]
                (Vec3. ~@(map (fn [s] `(. ~v ~(symbol (str s)))) [x y z])
                       (meta ~v)))))))

(defswizzlers)

Then you can simply call like (zyx v) instead of (:zyx v).

But all that is very, very static.

Kind regards
Meikel
