Hi All, 

I have a question regarding ambiguity in reflective dynamic invocation.

In Clojure you can dynamically invoke a method on a Java class like so:

(. some-instance bar arg)

where bar is a method name.
If the type inferencer can't ascertain the type of some-instance a runtime 
reflective path is used to perform the method invocation.
Lets suppose some-instance is of type Foo which has two overloads of method 
bar:

bar(Apple arg) 

and 

bar(Orange arg)

Now lets suppose Apple is an interface which extends Fruit and so is Orange.

Now lastly lets suppose we have a class MutantFruit which implements BOTH 
Apple and Orange. 

My question is what method is invoked at runtime for the following code:

(. some-instance bar mutant) 

where mutant is an instance of MutantFruit

Regards,

Nathan
