I was poking around `tools.namespace` and I found it interesting that the 
implementation of `remove-lib` is:

```(defn remove-lib
  "Remove lib's namespace and remove lib from the set of loaded libs."
  [lib]
  (remove-ns lib)
  (dosync (alter @#'clojure.core/*loaded-libs* disj lib)))
```


I’m wondering if someone can enlighten me to explain why `*loaded-libs*` 
needs to exist, as opposed to checking `clojure.lang.Namespace` directly?

This is a question carried over from 
slack: https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/C03S1KBA2/p1517211857000021
