I'd much rather exclude +, -, etc. when importing core and then (def + +'), etc. and (def unchecked-+ clojure.core/+) etc. Of course that adds enough boilerplate to the code to make me want to write a my-ns macro that passes most of its arguments through to ns but does all of the above as well. And still leaves me no way to get the old unchecked-+ speed and behavior (wrap on overflow rather than compare-and-branch then throw). I can only hope the branch prediction in modern CPUs will mostly prevent the speed loss from this change. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
