Help, writing kawa equivalent of java program

[Vasantha Ganesh <vasanthaganesh dot k at gmail dot com>]

Hello all,

Take this Java program:

public class Notworking{
    public interface kittens {
    public int a();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println(kittens.class);
    }
}

and this Kawa program:

(define-simple-class kittens ()
  (make-interface #t)
  (a::long))

(display kittens:class)

I think both are equivalent, but kawa seems to think that I'm doing a
type cast and throws this error message:

Argument #1 'class kittens' to 'gnu.bytecode.Type.getReflectClass()'
has wrong type (class) (java.lang.Class cannot be cast to
gnu.bytecode.Type)
    at not_working.run(not_working.scm:5)
    at gnu.expr.ModuleExp.evalModule2(ModuleExp.java:317)

    at kawa.repl.main(repl.java:881)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Class cannot be
cast to gnu.bytecode.Type
    ... 7 more

but if I do this in repl, I think its working:

#|kawa:1|# (define-simple-class kittens ()
#|(---:2|#   (make-interface #t)
#|(---:3|#   (a::long))
#|kawa:4|# (display kittens:class)
class kittens

Thank you,
