If only lib compilation could not automatically load the lib in the environment that calls 'compile (or could provide an option for that) , it would be much safer to implement an "auto-build" functionality in IDEs. I don't know if its primarily a technical consideration, so if it's feasible at all without having to rewrite a bunch of classes or even the whole 'compile thing ? Alas, I'm not currently in a position to give help on this, I haven't sufficiently studied clojure's internals. --> Do you know if getting a version of 'compile that would not also load the lib is feasible ?
