That was Jozef's point, but mine was to use :: and take advantage of
namespace aliases already set up through require.
My general preference is to use existing namespaces for keywords, rather
than make up my own. There are exceptions, but using real namespaces is
often more useful, as they tend to be more unique, can take advantage of
existing namespace aliases.
For example, in one of my current projects, I use the keyword
:ittyon.core/aspect rather than :ittyon/aspect. This allows the namespace
alias for ittyon.core to be used in the keywords as well.
(require '[ittyon.core :as i])
(derive ::foo ::i/aspect)
