I don't know -- I've been so far down the rabbit hole for so long that I sometimes find it hard to think about where things stand relative to the ideal. I do wish that ns declarations were an all-or-nothing proposition. I've worked myself into some very unusual REPL states when a namespace loads only partially due to an error (usually an incredibly useless one, but that's just an impl issue). I can imagine that having a ref per namespace would make this a straightforward simplification, and would probably shake out of a CinC impl. - Chas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
