I don't see how such a quick fix could be done, without the compiler gaining a concept of "the whole program", in which the user could have used MMs. In my understanding, the compiler, as it is right now, is fundamentally form-at-a-time, so at the point the global-hierarchy var already gets emitted, you can't possibly know if it will be used. Certainly, you are much more familiar with the implementation, do you see a point where this could already be hacked in? > These kind of simple approaches may seem "hacky" but I think the benefit > to users in terms of code size today outweighs those concerns - the > discussed fixes would be quite simple to remove when a more general > optimization strategy is in place. > To be honest, the introduction of compile-unit is the simplest, most general solution I could come up with after some hammock time. Since it seems not to be an obiously bad idea, I'll stop here and get back to confluence with a fully thought out proposal + implementation. Feedback and alternate approaches still welcome. 2012/10/16 Andy Fingerhut <andy.finger...@gmail.com> > Herwig: > > I've added you to a couple of groups (clojure-dev and jira-developers) on > Confluence that you did not previously belong to.

In the top bar I have 2 menus "Browse" and my account.
