In some versions of Scheme or Lisp, there is a flag that you can set so that
the reader will create exact numbers by default (BigDecimal) instead of
inexact doubles.
Is there a way to do this in Clojure?

It appears that the answer to the original question is "no, there is no way
to configure the reader to default numbers with a decimal point to be
BigDecimal instead of Double".

It should work. Before I had a debugging working in Eclipse with Groovy, I used
JSwat, JEdit and Ant for project work with success.
