Would a"def-" macro for private varibales make sense?

[Goldritter]

For functions I have a "defn" macro to create public functions and a "defn-" macro to define private functions.
For variables I have only "def". Would it make sense to also have a "def" macro for public variables and a "def-" macro for private variables, also variables which can be only accessed from within the namespace?

[Ambrose Bonnaire-Sergeant]

This topic has come up before. The conclusion from people of authority is that clojure.core is not the place for this macro, but may be appropriate for some other library.

Thanks,

Ambrose

It's better to use ^:private metadata on the symbol naming the var, since there is also defmacro, defmulti, etc, which not have hyphened versions too.

It seemed to be consensus that defn- was probably not a good idea but
was too common to remove...
