PersistentLists and PersistentHashSets work, but other things fail.

I think i know the reason:
Compiler.emitValue() (Compiler.java:3741-3879) is for initializing
constant expressions, but it only adds metadata, if the value is an
instance of class Obj (Compiler.java:3870). But since commit
430dd4fa711d0008137d7a82d4b4cd27b6e2d6d1 (metadata for fns) AFn no
longer extends Obj, and thus Maps, Symbols and Vectors aren't
instances of Obj anymore.
PersistentList extends ASeq which extends Obj directly, so those work.
No idea why PersistentSet works however.
