That was what I figured. However Clojure currently makes certain kinds of interop extremely painful, which makes it hard to integrate into existing frameworks. I'm not proposing anything that would encourage concrete derivation in pure Clojure programs, but I think that facilitating that interop is a worthwhile goal, especially since it's an explicit design goal of Clojure to expose the host where it's pragmatic to do so.
