        you associate a bytecode inlining function with an existing var. the function takes the AST of the original invoke expression + symbolizers
    1. …in reply to @ra
      the inlining fn returns typehinted bytecode to replace the default invoke bytecode. typehint specifies the expected type of that expression.
  1. …in reply to @ra
    if the inlining function returns nil, the compiler backs out and emits invoke bytecode as usual, respecting clojure's :inline metadata
    1. …in reply to @ra
      this allows for control of type flow and bytecode emission from outside the compiler. combined with macros this could be really powerful.
