That hardly precludes having a macro *version* of require alongside the ordinary function. Say, rename require to require*, then do (defmacro require [require-spec] `(require* '~require-spec)) Having said that, I for one am quite happy with the present day ns / require / use / etc. scheme and don't care either way about macroification of require / use, as long as the current ordinary functions remain accessible under some reasonable names.
