I recall now we've discussed "transactional loading" in the past and you decided to pass. Would it work to compare the set of ns-publics for the namespace before and after the load and unbind-root the vars that were present before but are not present after? I'm not proposing it, just trying to understand how things work. --Steve --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
