Well, I completely disagree - these are the identical problem with the identical scoping mechanism - namespace qualifiers. You should create sufficiently unique names by using qualifiers you "control" (either by delegating to a url that you own as the root or a trademark, etc). This is the recommended approach for Clojure namespaces (and for Java packages), and it's the identical recommendation for spec namespaces. Sure, you can be deliberately harmful, but then stuff will break and not work... so, don't do that? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
