there are a number of vars that are bound in clojure.main's repl,
*assert* is one of them. So in the repl you can use set!.

I agree that the issue with not being to change the root value of
*assert* seems odd.

Hi!
Yesterday on IRC some of us were struggling with the usage of
dynamically rebound vars inside macros which led to interesting
compile vs run time issues. I've got some questions for the experts at
the very bottom of this post - but before I'd like to explai this
issue for the less experienced
