Fair enough. So the least-breaking change proposed here would be simply that if :use is given an :as parameter, that it no longer also refer all the other symbols directly. Rich seemed to want to reduce the breakage here as much as possible, and IMHO this is pretty minimal. If it's still too much potential breakage this behavior could be attached to a new top-level name such as :uses or :demand, to be a new sibling of :use and :require. Perhaps gentle suggestions in the docs could then encourage people to stop using the older forms such that they could one day be removed. --Chouser --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
