Hi,

I discovered this testing some code this evening:

(String/valueOf nil) ; throws NullPointerException

(#(String/valueOf %) nil) ; "null"

Another formulation of the above (courtesy of brehaut in IRC):

(let [s nil] (String/valueOf s)) ; exception
(let [s nil] (String/valueOf ^Object s)) ; "null"

The correct output should be "null". It seems that in the direct
invocation, the Clojure compiler is choosing the wrong implementation
of valueOf. This appears to be the same in both Clojure 1.2 and
Clojure 1.3.

Is this a bug?

jack.
