I am curious about something that Michael Drogalis did here:

(defn- load-support [support-file]
  (let [support-ns (create-ns 'support-ns)
        support-text (slurp (.getPath support-file))]
    (binding [*ns* support-ns]
      (eval '(clojure.core/refer 'clojure.core))
      (eval '(refer 'janus.support))
      (load-string support-text))))

https://github.com/gga/janus/blob/master/src/janus/support.clj

So, we create a namespace ex-nihilo, and then we "load-string" our 
supporting/contract code in that namespace. Is this being done mostly for 
hygiene? Or security? Am I correct if I say this is done because it might 
be a mess if we loaded the contents of that external file in our current 
namespace?
