Being able to type "lein add <library>" and have it take care of
everything is a lot more convenient than typing "lein search
<library>", selecting the appropriate stretch of text, copying it to
the clipboard (or not, if you're brave), switching to an editor,
finding the right place to insert it, pasting the clipboard, then
saving the file.
This seems to be a downside to switching from XML to Clojure. Not that
I think that was a bad idea - the upsides far outweigh this.
Maybe project.clj should be automatically merged with a project.xml
when lein runs, where project.xml is created with a "for machine
editing only - humans edit project.clj" comment at the top. Then tasks
could edit project.xml without running into those problems.
