 Description   

clojure.core implements a class? predicate to detect if a thing is an instance of java.lang.Class. The attached patch implements interface? to further distinguish classes that are also interfaces. This gives us Clojure api for e.g., enumerating all interfaces a thing's base class implements; as in, (filter #(interface? %) (supers (class my-thing))).

I would prefer to see this, and other interop/reflective items, in a separate contrib lib.

Thanks for the feedback, Stu. Is there an existing contrib lib for stuff like this? Or should I create one?
