Hi, the difference between type and class is, that type inspects the metadata first for a :type keyword. This let's you bless data structures with a type tag eg. for printing or multimethod dispatching. This predates records and protocols. It is used in pr, which triggers the exception while printing in the repl. It's not a bug. It's a (old) feature.
