I'd tentatively agree. Although perhaps another model would be to just
put your semi-private declarations in a different namespace which is not
normally :use'd.
If you're really desperate you can get around the exception like this:
user> (apples/foo 4)
var: #'apples/foo is not public
[Thrown class java.lang.IllegalStateException]
user> (defmacro reveal [sym]
`(deref ~(clojure.lang.Compiler/resolveIn *ns* sym true)))
user> ((reveal apples/foo) 4)
But that's no doubt a bad idea.
