guess this solution would work for your own vars, but unfortunately it
is not possible to do this with *assert*:

But I actually like the macroexpand-all solution. It's done at compile-
time, so performance is not a big problem, and clojure's macroexpand
resolves everything to the proper namespace anyway.
