deftype becomes a macro (30-macros) over make-deftype-ctor (a ctx-capturing
clojure.core fn that bakes the ns-qualified type tag at def time) plus
extend-type for any inline protocol methods — so it compiles as a plain (do …).
Mirrors defrecord's existing field-let/protocol-grouping pattern.
- make-deftype-ctor-impl (evaluator) builds the ctor; interned as a closure.
- removed the deftype special-symbol? entry + eval-list arm; dropped deftype/
defrecord from host_iface special-names + loader stateful-head?.
- defrecord no longer redefines ->name via (Name. …) interop (frozen) — deftype
already provides ->name, so defrecord compiles too (map->name builds via it).
- field-kws spliced into a vector LITERAL ([~@…]) so the analyzer sees a vector
form, not a runtime pvec; type name + fields are unwrapped of ^meta (the reader
yields (with-meta sym m) forms, e.g. sci's (deftype ^{:doc …} Var …)).
With tier 5a, all of deftype/defrecord/defmulti/defmethod compile. The loader's
interpret-only set is now just the frozen host-coupled forms: defmacro/set!/./
new/eval.
Tests: evaluator-test deftype case uses init (deftype is an overlay macro now);
fallback-zero moves deftype off must-punt, adds deftype/defrecord/defmulti/
defmethod to must-compile (43/3).
