At this point I think it's highly unlikely to change - the behavior is pretty well documented: user=> (doc def) ------------------------- def (def symbol doc-string? init?) Special Form Creates and interns a global var with the name of symbol in the current namespace (*ns*) or locates such a var if it already exists. If init is supplied, it is evaluated, and the root binding of the var is set to the resulting value. If init is not supplied, the root binding of the var is unaffected.
