I'm working on a multimethod that needs to update a hash for a bunch of different things in a sequence. Looked fairly straitforward until I tried to enter the 'type of an array of X'.
(defmulti update-hash #(class %2))
(type (byte 1))
=> java.lang.Byte
(defmethod update-hash java.lang.Byte [md byte]
(. md update byte))
(type (into-array [ (byte 1)]))
=> [Ljava.lang.Byte;
(defmethod update-hash < WHAT GOES HERE > [md byte]
