>From another point of view, as a tool developer if you want to accurately
parse ns declarations it's extremely difficult. :use is a beast, and the
number of options you can potentially combine are crazy. This is mostly due
to the fact that :use combines what most people think of as :use and also
everything from require (which was a surprise to me). So all of these are
valid:
(ns test (:use [clojure.string :refer [trim] :only [split]]))
(ns test2 (:use [clojure.string :refer :all :only [split]]))
(ns test3 (:use [clojure.string :refer :all :exclude [split]]))
(ns test4 (:use [clojure.string :refer [trim] :exclude [trim]]))
(ns test5 (:use [clojure.string :as str :only [join] :refer [split]
:exclude [trim] :rename {reverse rev}]))
Anyone care to wager what those actually do without trawling through the
code? In fact, even if you trawl through the code it's far from trivial.
Those are just of the top of my head, I'm sure there are weirder cases.
