I agree :-).  For me the cost/benefit decision is easy -- I'm using it in a new 
interop-heavy project.  I posted it here in case others who used cider-nrepl 
based tooling may also potentially benefit -- if enough interest maybe I'd take 
the extra time to publish it as a library.

Often times I have had small macros / functions that I imagine would be of use 
to others but never know how to share them.  I personally have a bad reaction 
against pulling in a named dependency for 1 or 2 functions -- how to share such 
things?  I bet most developers in a lisp start to have their own utility 
libraries.  I've always imagined there would be much for me to learn by seeing 
those libraries from seasonsed lispers.
