Just did some testing with our code-base and Clojure 1.5.0-RC4 (with
and without Chas' read-eval patch).

There is definitely something strange going on. Things worked just
fine with 1.5.0-RC4 but with the read-eval patch `lein swank` is
completely broken but more than that, our code is failing to compile
with this weird error -

eval-reader: (clojure.lang.PersistentArrayMap/create {:author "Joe Dev
<j...@helpshift.com>", :doc "Some doc here."})
RuntimeException EvalReader not allowed when *read-eval* is false.
clojure.lang.Util.runtimeException (Util.java:219)

Almost all our namespaces have documentation attached via metadata like this -

(ns ^{:doc "Some doc here."
      :author "Joe Dev <j...@helpshift.com>"}
  com.helpshift.some.ns
  (:require [com.helpshift.other.ns :as chon])
  (:use clojure.test
        midje.sweet))

FWIW, the file that will fail to compile is random and I couldn't
reproduce this error on a fresh project with just a couple of files.

It's quite clear that the eval-reader is getting used from inside
Clojure and we need to test out the edge cases a bit more.

This is clearly not a low-impact fix, but IMHO we should take the time
and get it right before 1.5.0

Regards,
BG
