deftype expects method definitions *not* to accept an explicit "self"
argument. You need to do something like this instead:
(deftype Piece [#^int number #^char letter]
Comparable
(compareTo
[x]
(let [c1 (compare number (:number x))]
(if (zero? c1) (compare letter (:letter x)) c1))))
Note that own fields can be accessed by name. If you do need a "self"
argument, you can create an implicit self available to all method
bodies by passing
:as some-symbol
to the deftype right after the fields vector.
