I've been doing some OO-type Clojure programming, and have run into the following (quite minor) annoyance:
I've defined a struct with a :class of ::Foo in namespace my.long.namespace.foo. In another namespace my.long.namespace.bar, I want to define a subclass of this struct. In this namespace, I require [...foo :as foo], so that I can refer to multimethods like foo/method1. However, it seems I'm still required to write (derive ::Bar :my.long.namespace.foo/Foo) when I'd like to write (derive ::Bar :foo/Foo) I'm not sure if this is even feasible, since given my limited experience it seems that aliases for symbols are handled at resolution- time and not read-time, and that wouldn't work for keywords. On the other hand, this state of affairs seems to be possibly-confusing and a perhaps-needless difference between symbols and keywords. What do others think about this?
