In practice, an unqualified 'use' form can be bad style, because your code
will contain symbols whose origin is unknown to a human reader. It also
unnecessarily risks collisions, if you refer different namespaces that might
define the same names.
Better:
(use '[clojure.contrib.math :only [lcm]]) ;; so you know where 'lcm'
comes from, and nothing else can collide
(require '[clojure.contrib.math :as math]) ;; allows you to write
(math/lcm x y), and nothing will collide
