Hi Mark, I've used the following macro to achieve something like what
you're doing;
In the file/namespace module (say eg_globs/fns.clj);
(ns eg-globs.fns)
(declare *gravity*)
(defmacro with-grav
[grav & body]
`(let [gr# ~grav]
(binding [*gravity* gr#]
~...@body)))
(defn say-grav []
(prn "Gravity is:" *gravity*))
(defn halve-grav []
(/ *gravity* 2.0))
(defn mult-grav [x]
(* *gravity* x))
Then in the calling module;
(use 'eg-globs.fns)
(with-grav 2.0
(say-grav)
(prn "half:" (halve-grav))
(mult-grav 2.5))
"Gravity is:" 2.0
"half:" 1.0
5.0
(with-grav 1.5
(mult-grav 3.0))
4.5
Hth, Adrian.
