It's a classname, even if not one you could use yourself. I'm pretty sure it has to be stable for multiple reasons, not least of which being for serialization (and, thus, RMI among other things) to work correctly between implementations. It will be in class files as the classes of various data members and return types and such. There are probably other places it appears, too. I doubt it could be different in some implementations any more than "java.lang.String" could be. That being said, the method I proposed for obtaining a reference to the class does not depend on this. :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
