Hi, I really badly need this patch in one of my project. But rather than patching clojure's genclass.clj I implemented external utility generating the class with varargs using your patch. I'd like to publish it as an open-source micro utility. I know that you'd just added additional meta info but nevertheless you have spend some time on it and if you agree I'd like add your name in credits note. Could you please email me what info you'd like to share?
