Re: extended "colon notation" [feedback needed]


I've checked in the following:

(1) To check that a value is an instance of a type:
(TYPE:instance? VALUE)
  ;; same as (instance? VALUE TYPE)

(2) To cast a value to a type:
(TYPE:<- VALUE)
  ;; same as (as VALUE TYPE)

(3) Accessing the java.lang.Class for a class type:
(TYPE:.class)
  ;; similar to (Class:forName "TYPE"), or Java's TYPE.class
