The relevant piece of code is at https://github.com/clojure/clojure/commit/6ab23a6e3c4c65868dcf042bd851933202b80f65
:type metadata has a special semantics, see https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/clj/clojure/core.clj#L3338and https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/clj/clojure/core.clj#L3133. I wonder if we can replace it with ::type, which would cause less problems.
