I just hope someone > else does :-) I'm a clojure newb, but couldn't you reflect on a given version to generate an import file that used :only to import every name visible in that version? Then you could import that file, which would be a version constant (although I'm not clear yet if clojure allows transitive imports). It should be easy to generate such a file privately for any given snapshot (although I imagine it would be best as an official version artifact). Alternatively of course every name could be tagged with version metadata and import enhanced to take a version spec, but that seems far more intrusive (and in any case precisely equivalent to my first suggestion).
