clojure/namespace already exists: returns the namespace string of a symbol or keyword. If it were available I think it would be a good alternative for clojure/defns. > By the way, what happened to "in-ns"? Couldn't that be the form used > for switching to a namespace that already exists? clojure/in-ns takes a symbol argument which must be quoted. clojure/ns doesn't require its argument to be quoted--it's part of the "easier to type" group of namespace-related functions. I see from the doc that clojure/in-ns creates the namespace if it doesn't exist. Is the intent for clojure/ns to be simply a wrapper for in-ns or should it give an error if the namespace doesn't already exist? --Steve --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
