Using fastmath or not would be part of the library specification. Or, in general, of the documentation for each individual function. It may not matter at all for the user of some functions, but be very important for others. > - similar looking code will change semantics when the ns switch is made - > seems dangerous as it might violate the presumptions of the original authors. That is true, but it is true for any strategy to introduce new maths semantics into Clojure. As soon as there are two, there is a risk for confusion. And even if there is only one but different from the one in the past, there is a risk for confusion as well.
