If this were a problem in general I think we'd find more people poking at the internals of protocols, but I've never seen that happen. You could use namespaced keywords, like :woobly.internal/queue, to give people more of a hint that the data shouldn't be used without the API, but I really think you're borrowing trouble with this. Encapsulation is like inheritance, in that it's one of those ideas that's nice on paper, but ultimately not very useful in practise. - James -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
