Designate, yes. Find, no, if I understand what you're saying.

There's no index / repository / collection / directory / 
table-of-contents / etc corresponding to the set of namespaces nor to 
the sets of symbols within each namespace, right?

So if I hand you a symbol or a keyword, you can tell me the namespace 
portion of that symbol or keyword and thus verify that it is or is not 
equal to some specified one, but as you've pointed out, you cannot 
enumerate all the symbols or keywords bearing a particular namespace 
portion nor can you enumerate the distinct namespaces extant at any 
given juncture during the execution of some Clojure code.

Is all that correct? Some of it? Any of it?
