As Rich noted here: http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/msg/513367afb934d41b , when the var names a function and it's used in an expression emitted from a macro, prefer invoking the var: (#'some-ns/some-private-var some args) over invoking the function to which it is currently bound: (@#'some-ns/some-private-var some args) Perhaps the coding standards could be updated along these lines: •To call a private function in another namespace (e.g., for testing), use a form like: (#'some.ns/some-fn some args) •To access the value bound to a private var in another namespace (e.g., for testing), use an expression like: @#'some.ns/some-var --Steve -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
