It was my realisation that for the ns declaration you don't that made things easier. >> Also, I am confused as to how you distinguish between >> [core [matrix math bs]] being equivalent to :use while >> Is [one reload middleware] also :use?

You now have an implicit alias ":as reload", and are distinguishing between having an alias and having no qualification by nesting or otherwise. I do like the idea of enforcing nesting though in [core [matrix math bs]] Phil -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
