I'm struggling to understand the problem that you're actually trying to solve. The solution that you are proposing doesn't seem like an elegant solution to any problem, so could you elaborate on what you're trying to do?

Clojure has four datatypes which are used for mutability: Agents, Atoms, Refs and Vars. As I said originally, your function is mutating the global scope, whether by using `intern` or by using `def`, and this is generally not a good idea. There is (almost), a better solution than mutating the global state.
