I guess it depends on the details. If I can completely ignore the ns declaration and tell the IDE, through a menu selection or key command, something like "Make an ns declaration that includes what I need, based on what I call here and where those things can be found in the project directory and other reasonable places," and I really never have to pay attention to the big mess that it produces for that, then that would indeed be quite excellent. Better than what I have to do now. But if my actual ns declarations have to get a lot bigger than they are now -- that is, if there isn't a reasonably concise way to use :require :refer :all in place of :use -- then I would really be dependent on such an IDE feature. And if the IDE "helps" but I still have to pay attention to the details then that may still be worse than the current situation. Seems better to me to leave :use alone and/or to ensure that there's a reasonably concise way to get the same effect from :require :refer :all. Maybe there is -- nobody has chimed in with it yet but I only posted the query this morning. Of course I'd still really like implicit "use what you need and don't bother me about it unless you need to" -- but I am not holding my breath for this :-). -Lee -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
