Stuart,
You're right that it breaks identity. How about a different approach then -
I can get the list of referred vars from a namespace, and vars can cary
metadata. A natural way to add more flexibility would be to add a flag -
let's call it :export - to referred vars that I'd like for
I have come up with a solution to a problem I don't think exists outside of
my mind, but since I can't for the life of me figure out how Clojure
'wants' me to do this, I thought I would bounce this off the Google Group.
*The scenario:* I am trying to collect a bunch of functions and macros from
Here's what I use to pull symbols from Enlive into FW/1:
(def ^:private enlive-symbols
['append 'at 'clone-for 'content 'do- 'html-content 'prepend
'remove-class 'set-attr 'substitute])
(defmacro enlive-alias ^:private [sym]
`(let [enlive-sym# (resolve (symbol (str html/ ~sym)))]

Midje plays similar tricks to make namespace abilities available via one `use`.
Which makes me think:

I was thinking of doing the same in the validation lib I published
recently [1] and this thread came in handy. I haven't implemented it
yet but having a common way in which people do this seems reasonable -
if it's in core then all the better.
Cheers,

I've said it before and I will keep saying it: copying symbols by interning
vars breaks the identity of the original vars. It breaks dynamic binding,
with-redefs, and the ability to redefine functions at the REPL.
Clojure has a two perfectly good mechanisms for making vars available in

1. `refer`. Define a public function that `refer`s all the symbols you want.
It's an extra step for the user, but that's good because it makes it evident
that extra symbols are being added.

I remembered bookmarking a library that did something similar, so I
looked at my bookmarks. Here is Zach Tellman's potemkin library, you
might be interested in checking it out:
