Rick and Stuart H. should answer, but as I understand it, instead of the default "global" namespace (no namespace at all): 1:1 user=> (namespace :keyword) nil or an explicit namespace: 1:2 user=> (namespace :space/keyword) "space" the ::keyword notation yields a keyword in the current namespace (that in effect when the form containing the double-colon keyword is compiled): 1:3 user=> (namespace ::keyword) "user" Randall Schulz --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
