That's a lot better than being dead with an error.

Is there a way to turn those warnings back into errors for those really paranoid of us?

With "warn on name collision" in place, the sane way to promote from one library to another is to copy the vars into their new home, but to also leave the old ones in place (for a while). The old vars can be marked with {:deprecated "some.version.no"}, and old clients can continue to use them.

Is there some way to control where the warnings "go"? If they happen in a server whose stdout/stderr aren't being read by a human (or which has been directed to /dev/null)...

I think it is a great idea in general. IIRC Common Lisp addressed this with shadowing-import...
