Hi Stuart,
Thanks, that's good to know - I didn't realize the ns macro did that!
I just had a look at the docstring for ns:
"Sets *ns* to the namespace named by name (unevaluated), creating it
if needed. references can be zero or more of: (:refer-clojure ...)
(:require ...) (:use ...) (:import ...) (:load ...) with the syntax
of refer-clojure/require/use/import/load respectively, except the
arguments are unevaluated and need not be quoted. If :refer-clojure
is not used, a default (refer 'clojure) is used. Use of ns is preferred
to individual calls to in-ns/require/use/import:
(ns foo
(:refer-clojure :exclude [ancestors printf])
(:require (clojure.contrib sql sql.tests))
(:use (my.lib this that))
(:import (java.util Date Timer Random)
(java.sql Connection Statement))
(:load \"/mystuff/foo.clj\"))"
It appears that ns provides a lot of "convenience" functionality!
Cheers,
Bill
