re: searching for punctuation sequence, lots of times you have to do Control-F on the API ref:

or maybe the Apress book has these indexed, I can't remember

I've never found it to be that awkward to extend existing classes from java. Part of the problem in clojure are there are so many different ways to do it, all with different shortcomings.

For simple adding of a protocol to a class you can always just use (extend-class)

Proxies are simple and work well in other cases.

the gen-class documentation is a bit confusing, it helped me to look @ some examples. I used a different site that I can't find now, but this one seems helpful.

Note that his original reason for learning emacs, namely, that there's not a good Clojure REPL for Vim, is no longer true.
