I think I may have found a minor issue with gen-class, but wanted to
confirm with the group that I'm not just doing something stupid...

regarding use cases:
1. IMHO gen-class should fail with an appropriate message/exception
rather than trying to "fix" the signature. This is what the Java
compiler would do if I made the same mistake in Java. More to the
point, an exter
