Description

Now that deftype creates a class (but not a var), you can't use c.c.repl-utils/get-source on a deftype. Is there something we can do on the Clojure side to help this work again?

chouser@n01se.net said: That's a great question. get-source just needs a file name and line number.

If IMeta were a protocol, it could be extended to Class. That implementation could look for a "well-known" static field, perhaps? __clojure_meta or something? Then deftype would just have to populate that field, and get-source would be all set.

Does that plan have any merit? Is there a better place to store a file name and line number?
