Is there a reason for all the conversion to string and back? The below
seems simpler and equivalent:
(defmacro remote-declare [n]
"declares the supplied ns-qualified name with no bindings, useful
for creating circular dependencies"
(let [ns (namespace n)
v (name n)
orig-ns *ns*]
`(do (in-ns '~ns)
(clojure.core/declare ~v)
(in-ns '~orig-ns))))
