Nothing is being "silently replaced". We're talking about the case where the user has explicitly asked for this behaviour by their decision to "use" a whole namespace. Which is, as we know, something that some people like to do and others don't. If you don't want to use this double-edged sword, then you don't have to. Live and let live. If you want exact control over how you import these symbols, then of course you still have it. But the default should IMHO be both a) convenient and b) warning free. At most, this should be a warning that can be turned on in the same way as *warn-on-reflection*. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
