Thank you for this, you just fixed a bug for me :-) I was trying to do some tricky type hinting with definline using amolloy's great answer <http://stackoverflow.com/a/11920022> on StackOverflow. Notice that he uses `BufferedImage and not 'BufferedImage. I stupidly figured that this was just a typo due to force of habit or similar and switched to using quote, and discovered that I had problems when BufferedImage wasn't imported when the inlined version of the function was called. Turns out that ` expands an imported class name to the fully qualified name, whereas ' does not.
(import java.awt.image.BufferedImage) => #=java.awt.image.BufferedImage `BufferedImage => java.awt.image.BufferedImage 'BufferedImage => BufferedImage Mea culpa. I'm not sure I would ever have made this connection, very timely - thank you.
