A related problem occurs when you separate your code into multiple
namespaces.  You can't create cyclic links with use or require.  There's a
case to be made for avoiding that situation, but the solution clojure
provides when you need it is to import the vars using ns-resolve as in  (def
myfn (ns-resolve 'com.foo.bar.mylib 'myfn))
