REPL Namespace Display

[brian]

Hope this is the appropriate place for this... anyway, very trivial
issue. I was playing around in an effort to begin to understand the
ns fns & managed to get the current/active ns & REPL displayed ns out
of synch via the following:

user> *ns*
#<Namespace user>
user> (in-ns 'howdy)
#<Namespace howdy>
howdy> (clojure.core/refer 'clojure.core)
nil
howdy> *ns*
#<Namespace howdy>
howdy> (remove-ns 'howdy)
#<Namespace howdy>
howdy> *ns*
#<Namespace user>
howdy>
howdy> (in-ns 'user)
#<Namespace user>
howdy>

Switching to another ns corrects it.

BTW l'm really looking forward to digging into this language as a long
time Java wanna-be Lispy programmer (so thx Rich)

We now have several Repls, and each acts slightly differently. I
couldn't reproduce this with clojure.lang.Repl. I'm guessing from
your prompt that you're using emacs/slime. Is that correct?

That's correct. And I couldn't reproduce with the java
clojure.lang.Repl either. Guess I was thinking it was just a pass
through... I'm an emacs & slime noob too ;)
