reify allows use of qualified name as method parameter

Question

This should complain about using a fully-qualified name as a parameter:

(defmacro lookup (link: )
`(reify clojure.lang.ILookup

      (valAt (link: _ key))))

Instead it simply ignores that parameter in the method body in favour of clojure.core/key.

richhickey said: I'm not sure the bug is what you say it is, or the resolution should be what you suggest. The true problem is the resolution of key when qualified. Another possibility is to ignore the qualifier there.

Answer 4

Comment made by: importer

technomancy said: Interesting. So it's not appropriate to require auto-gensym here? Why are the rules different for reify methods vs proxy methods?

(defmacro lookup (link: )
`(proxy (link: clojure.lang.ILookup) (link: )

      (valAt (link: key) key)))

(lookup)

Can't use qualified name as parameter: clojure.core/key
