Unfortunately that doesn't work -- it captures the namespace in which new*
is called, but that may not be where the symbol is actually written.
Consider this:
(ns my-namespace
(:refer dynamic-new))
(defrecord MyRecord [a b c])
(defn instantiate-using-parameter [type-name-as-symbol]
(new* type-name-as-symbol 1 2 3))
(in-ns 'another-namespace)
(my-namespace/instantiate-using-parameter 'MyRecord)
=> #:my-namespace.MyRecord{:a 1, :b 2, :c 3}
Again, the use of syntax-quote would qualify the symbol in the right
namespace -- the one containing the source of the symbol.
