src.boo.BooClass/class-var ;; => "BooClass class variable!"
(src.boo.BooClass/some-class-method) ;; => "hello from <class 'src.test.BooClass'>!"

Notice that for these cases the class (name) effectively becomes a namespace of its own, even if it is not defined in a separate file. This is unlike Clojure.

If it helps, you can think of Basilisp's style of referencing as "Python-style", but with the last ``.`` replaced by a ``/``.
