@alexmiller Regarding recent discussion on https://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-2207 I know the original suggested change was declined, and no objection from me on that. I was curious if your note about "taking Java's lead", changing the Clojure compiler to give errors if unusual whitespace characters are found outside of comments/strings, rather than silently accepting them as characters that can be part of var/keyword names, would be of interest as a separate ticket.
