Hi Petr, Did you see this? https://github.com/clojure/tools.namespace#warnings-for-aliases
Also mentioned: "Aliases to reloaded namespaces will break if the namespace containing the alias is not reloaded also." I've been writing per-project wrappers over the refresh function to do the ns-unalias+alias calls. I wonder if it would be feasible to have something that keeps track of just aliases in the user namespace, and do the re-aliasing after a refresh.
