Description

defmulti's current behavior of adding a {:tag 'clojure.lang.MultiFn} to the new multimethod's metadata interferes with providing a type hint for the return value of the multimethod. This is easily fixed by deleting this behavior, as in the attached patch.

user=> (defmulti foo "this is foo" {:author "me" :arglists '([bar])} type)
#'user/foo
user=> (meta (var foo))
{:ns #<Namespace user>, :name foo, :arglists ([bar]), :author "me", :doc "this is foo", :line 1, :file "NO_SOURCE_PATH", :tag clojure.lang.MultiFn}

after patch

user=> (defmulti foo "this is foo" {:author "me" :arglists '([bar])} type)
#'user/foo
user=> (meta (var foo))
{:ns #<Namespace user>, :name foo, :arglists ([bar]), :author "me", :doc "this is foo", :line 1, :file "NO_SOURCE_PATH"}
