defmulti/defmethod become macros (30-macros) over ctx-capturing
clojure.core fns (defmulti-setup/defmethod-setup, interned by
install-stateful-fns!):
- defmulti: (defmulti name dispatch & opts) -> (defmulti-setup 'name
dispatch ~@opts). name quoted; dispatch + opts (:default/:hierarchy)
evaluated. defmulti-setup builds the dispatch closure over the method
table and interns the var (same hierarchy/default/cache behavior).
- defmethod: (defmethod mm dval & fn-tail) -> (defmethod-setup 'mm dval
(fn ~@fn-tail)). The method impl is now a COMPILED (fn …) (was an
interpreted fn* eval). Auto-creates the multimethod if missing.
- removed their special-symbol? entries + eval-list arms, and dropped them
from host_iface special-names + loader stateful-head?.
Both compile + interpret as plain invokes; dispatch incl. :default and
derive/hierarchy works in both modes.
Tests: evaluator-test (defmulti case) + namespace-test now use init (these
forms are overlay macros now, so a bare make-ctx lacks them).
