Description

Take for example this code:

(ns foo
  (:require [views.bar :as bar]
            [model.bar :as bar]))

;; this is meant to use views.bar
(bar/update-view)

The call to update-view fails with a "Cannot call method call of undefined", which is quite confusing if you have a big list of requires at the beginning. The expected behavior would be a compile-time error.

I had found it convenient to be able to do 

(:require [foo :as f]) (:require-macros [foo :as f])
, although I admit I was a bit surprised when I discovered that that worked.

Would you be interested in a patch which preserves this behavior, or will we have to use separate aliases for fn/macro ns's from now on?

A patch to allow macro dependencies to reuse a namespace alias is welcome.

Here's a patch that does that (macro-realias.patch, 23 Dec 2012).
