Makes sense. I guess my other question then would be if there are any
benefits to using :refer along with :as.

Just like the rest of the article, it's about readability. With
`:refer` you don't know where a symbol came from when you encounter it
in the middle of the code.

In Stuart Sierra's article here
(http://stuartsierra.com/2015/05/10/clojure-namespace-aliases), he
recommends to use :refer sparingly but doesn't explain why this is a
good idea. Only thing I could think of without putting too much effort
into it is that it makes it slightly more tedious when you want to use
a function from a namespace that hasn't been already explicitly referred.
Are there no benefits other than possibly excluding function names
that might otherwise suffer a namespace clash (assuming their
namespace isn't being aliased already)?
Thanks,
Akiva
