Classes generated by deftype and defrecord don't play nice with .getPackage

Description

Classes generated loaded by DynamicClassLoader return nil for .getPackage. Tools like CIDER and vim-fireplace are relying on this information to implement things like completion hints.

1 2 3 4 5 (.getPackage String) ;; => #<Package package java.lang, Java Platform API Specification, version 1.7> (deftype T []) (.getPackage T) ;; => nil

Proposed: During DynamicClassLoader.defineClass(), invoke definePackage() on the class being defined (similar to what URLClassLoader does).
