It only appears to "work"; the second line is still using the special
form.  You can see this more clearly here:

user=> (def if println)
#'user/if
user=> (if "hi")
java.lang.Exception: Too few arguments to if (NO_SOURCE_FILE:22)
user=> ((var if) "hi")
hi
nil

The "hi" is from the println function, the "nil" is what was returned
from the call.
