I don't think this is quite right, although I'd be delighted to be corrected. Clojure still has to deref the var in order to call the function, and afaik this happens at runtime (hence the fact that you can redefine a function in the REPL).

In recent versions of Clojure, vars are not by default dynamically bound.
