Now that you understand it, can you explain it me? :)
This simplified version of your snippet still throws the "No such
namespace: c" exception:
(ns coretest)
(defn foo [x] x)
(= 1
(do
(alias 'c 'coretest)
(c/foo true)))
But the following completes without any exceptions:
(ns coretest)
(defn foo [x] x)
(do
(alias 'c 'coretest)
(c/foo true))
Only difference is whether or not the result of the "do" expression is
used as arg in a call to "=". I'm stumped.
