I believe that there was a discussion about wildcards on this list several years ago, and that there was pretty firm resistance to including them. But FWIW I'd love to have them too. And in fact I'd love to be able to :use/:require "*"! (Which I guess would be equivalent to :use-whatever-you-need, which I just mentioned in the other thread... while acknowledging that this would be insane in some programming contexts, but not in all). -Lee -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
