If you want integration with an IDE or text editor you might want to add
lein-swank as a dev-dependency to the library's project.clj.

A new trick that I just learned is that "lein install" will put the library
into your local maven repository so you can play around with it easily in
your own projects. It's also a simple way to help test other people's
projects (like swank-clojure).
