The source for lazy-xml has the following:
(:use [clojure.xml :as xml :only []]
[clojure.contrib.seq :only [fill-queue]])
What is the purpose of using clojure.xml but listing nothing for the :only arguments?
Notice the
:as xmlwhich when combined with the:only []seems to make that line equivalent to(:require [clojure.xml :as xml]). That style might be useful if you want to copy some vars into the local namespace (i.e., a non-empty:only), but allow the rest of that namespace to be explicitly aliased via:as. Since that’s not what he’s doing, it really should just be a:require.
