The SourceDebugExtension stuff is used (see JSR-45) to provide source code 
maps from the compiled classes back to the original source files, namely 
the source file name and the source file line numbers. This information 
appears in stack traces. Removing these debug extensions means you won't 
have source file names or line numbers in your stack traces for Clojure. As 
far as I know, there should be effects in how anything actually executes 
though.
