Ok, so here's the thing:

I'd like to keep a reference to a class somewhere, and later retrieve
it to instantiate.
But references to classes don't seem to be valid arguments to the new
special function.

For ex,

(let [the-class java.lang.String]
 (new the-class))

this throws an error (at least, in 1.2) : Unable to resolve classname:
the-class

After fiddling around, I found this ugly hack :

(let [the-class java.lang.String]
 (eval `(new ~the-class)))

Am I missing something?

Cheers!
