Some people don't like the native approach to private vars since anyone who wants to override it can do so anyway, so they go with a purely conventional and unenforced approach: delineate the boundaries of API vs internal using :internal or :impl and/or put the internal bits in an impl namespace. The origins of this are partly in the Joy of Clojure and partly in Phil Hagelberg's code I believe.
