Small questions on error-kit—which I love and think that all clojure-
contrib libraries should use—why do defined errors such as *error*,
*number-error*, etc. have names surrounded by asterisks? According to
this thread—http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_thread/

Thanks for the endorsement! Have you used cont
I appreciate that they stand out. Again, this is similar to the constants
conversation earlier, visually marking the intended use is a good habit,
IMHO. Of course this doesn't mean that error-kit should define the base

Yeah. Personally, I don't think they should stand out any more than a
struct basis needs to stand out.
(defstruct person :fname :lname)
(struct person "Bob" "Joe")
(deferror parse-error {...})
(raise parse-error ...)

This is a breaking change if you were using the name '*error*'
