At least you could simplify this and avoid using eval, by using
clojure.core/intern directly instead of trying to get the compiler to
believe you're in that namespace. Grabbing the source for the defonce
macro, here's a draft of how I might rewrite this to avoid eval:
(let [ns-obj (the-ns (doto 'clojure.test require))
the-var (intern ns-obj 'old-report)]
(when-not (.hasRoot the-var)
(intern ns-obj 'old-report clojure.test/report)))
Seems to have the same effect as the defonce in some simple testing.
