          you associate a bytecode inlining function with an existing var. the function takes the AST of the original invoke expression + symbolizers

            the inlining fn returns typehinted bytecode to replace the default invoke bytecode. typehint specifies the expected type of that expression.

              if the inlining function returns nil, the compiler backs out and emits invoke bytecode as usual, respecting clojure's :inline metadata

                this allows for control of type flow and bytecode emission from outside the compiler. combined with macros this could be really powerful.
