I don't think it's a mistake or accident that spit exists in clojure.core. In 1.2, duck-streams became deprecated and functions such as spit were incorporated into clojure.core:
http://clojure.github.com/clojure/clojure.core-api.html#clojure.core/spit http://clojure.github.com/clojure-contrib/duck-streams-api.html Are you using anything beyond spit and slurp*? If not, I think you can switch to clojure.core's slurp and spit and drop duck-streams altogether.
