Source docstring:

The symbol must resolve to a var, and the Var object
itself (not its value) is returned. The reader macro #'x expands to (var x).

(defmethod parse 'var
  [op env [_ sym :as form] _ _]
  (when (not= 2 (count form))
    (throw (error env "Wrong number of args to var")))
  (when-not (symbol? sym)
    (throw (error env "Argument to var must be symbol")))
  (merge
    {:env env
     :op :the-var
     :children [:var :sym :meta]
     :form form}
    (var-ast env sym)))

(defmethod emit* :the-var
  [{:keys [env var sym meta] :as arg}]
  {:pre [(ana/ast? sym) (ana/ast? meta)]}
  (let [{:keys [name]} (:info var)]
    (emit-wrap env
      (emits "new cljs.core.Var(function(){return " (munge name) ";},"
        sym "," meta ")"))))
