+1 for this request. I have a question as well, aren't the namespace bindings stored in one of clojure's concurrency objects? Since the ability to interact with a running program is one of the features that sets clojure apart from most other mainstream programming languages, if more than one person is trying to change the environment, shouldn't clojure's concurrency objects be used to store the data (which also means they would automatically get the watchers)?
I still haven't completely understood the various concurrency constructs so please excuse me if my assumptions are naive.
