Hello, I just discovered that records (created using defrecord) can't be treated as functions (like maps) anymore. Consider this -
user=> (defrecord Bird [nom species]) user.Bird user=> (def crow (Bird. "Crow" "Corvus corax")) #'user/crow user=> (:nom crow) "Crow" user=> (crow :nom) java.lang.ClassCastException: user.Bird cannot be cast to clojure.lang.IFn (NO_SOURCE_FILE:0) user=> The documentation says "defrecord provides a complete implementation of a persistent map". If a record is analogous to a map, why can't we treat it as one? If it's not a bug, what is the rationale behind it?
