But vars get their namespace from where they're defined, not where they're used. I'm not defining anything in that example, I'm just providing a list of values -- one symbol and two numbers. The nil namespace on the symbol means I'd like Clojure to use it's resolution rules to go find the correct Var, possibly as referred from another namespace. --Chouser --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
