I have learned that instances of records do not eval to themselves.
This seems inconsistent to me. I am curious if this is intentional or
if it is a gap in the current record implementation in Clojure.
Thanks.

(defn eval-type [x]
(class (eval x)))
;; instances of structural types
I remember reading about it in the Joy of Clojure. It may be fixed in the
future versions of Clojure.
Ivan - Thanks for the response. I checked Joy of Clojure and I see a

printed and then eval'd. I was aware of this, however
