This is excellent addition.

Once it is complete and polished, I wonder what it would take to persuade the 
lein project (is it still just Phil in charge?) to include it in the box.

I have noticed working with a variety of different package management tools, 
that there is a union of features that would be nice if all of them have, but 
each one has a subset. For example, almost all of them have a command line way 
of adding dependency except lein... and this solves that problem. But it 
doesn’t solve the problem for everyone, it only solves the problem for people 
who hear about and grab the plug-in. So for the vast majority of all users, 
from their point of view lein is still behind the competition in this way.

It would also be very nice to have the “tell me about upgrades available to my 
packages” in the box, that is also a plug-in for lein but already there in some 
other tools (though notably not NPM!
