1. Refer should still say :as is unsupported if it's unsupported. 2. Refer-clojure is more like use than refer, because clojure.core is in effect required, simply because it's ALWAYS required. 3. Being able to :as c the core would be useful under exactly these kinds of circumstances, where you want to shadow a core function but have the original available with a conveniently short syntax. > Likewise, if you only refer to clojure.set instead of use'ing it, > the :as clause doesn't apply. In which case it should throw an exception. -- Protege: What is this seething mass of parentheses?! Master: Your father's Lisp REPL. This is the language of a true hacker.
