Wow. I thought I was following everything that transpired here, but much
of that seems out of the blue to me.

Has the documentation been updated to reflect these additions and
changes?

Anyway, it looks fascinating, especially the multimethod enhancements.
My brain still wants to think in an object-oriented manner after so
many years of C++ and Java.

And to you, Rich.

Very cool. :)
Thanks Rich and the all Clojure contributors. This is truly
a fantastic language and it keeps getting better. I love using
it.

Some of the enhancements were discussed here:

http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/msg/64e14b845a5e8905

http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_frm/thread/bf552753ea0b6e20/f053d73f83e5b3d4

The API page has been updated.

I'll be providing some more prose docs for multimethods and lib, and
correcting older docs and examples to reflect the present usage, as
time permits over the next few days.
