Would it be better to throw an exception if nothing was specified to load instead of returning true/false... Because :foo is a keyword, making it a valid argument to use and require, but no load target is specified. I've uploaded a patch to the ticket Raoul created: https://www.assembla.com/spaces/clojure/tickets/253-Improve-errors-for--use---require--in-REPL user=> (require :foo) java.lang.Exception: Nothing specified to load (NO_SOURCE_FILE:0) user=> (use :foo) java.lang.Exception: Nothing specified to load (NO_SOURCE_FILE:0) user=> (use 'foo) java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not locate foo__init.class or foo.clj on classpath: (NO_SOURCE_FILE:0) user=> (use 'clojure.test) nil Please clarify if this meets the desired behavior.
