Yep, I've been thinking along those lines as well. We'd still need an escape character, since unicode uris are a thing, but at least we could substitute :,/,... without it.

I'm still concerned, that doing this might be viewed as an ugly hack, but I think, being able to reuse namespace aliasing is a powerful proposition... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
