Thanks for the explanation Stuart,
So it seems that all the Swank Clojure IDEs rely on files only
containing "safe" code. I guess that's OK provided everyone understands
this.
Is is any way to only process the def's? For example processing the
following would only define the symbol "foo", but not call it.
(defn foo [message]
(pop-up-window message))
(foo "Hi Mom!")
If so, I could do references safely.
