I just ran into an instance where I might want to do just this. I have a file really/long/namespace/util.clj with a bunch of utilities, structs, and method definitions. Following (what I gather is) an accepted convention, these structs have a :class key that maps to a namespace-qualified keyword. Now, I have another file stuff.clj that builds upon all of the contents of util.clj. So, I want to :use util.clj, pulling in all of its utilities, but I'd also like to be able to refer to its namespace- qualified keywords with the alias ::util/keyword rather than :really.long.namespace.util/keyword. Is there a way for me to do this under your proposal? (Maybe my potential setup is a bad idea, I don't know ... anyway, the situation reminded me of this thread so I thought I'd mention it). Other than this possible (very minor) snag, I very much like the proposals in this thread. -Jason --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
