I have never read a real program in Clojure, and I don't know enough
to try to write one.  So I wouldn't try to say _anything_ about the
specifics of how Clojure mode should behave.  I leave that to the
people who kmow something about the language and have a basis to have
sensible opinions.

The issues where I say something are those that affect uniformity and
coherence of Emacs interfaces.  I know about these points so I can say
that some proposed interface has a problem.

I wouldn't want to propose specific alternatives on my own, though,
because doing that calls for the Clojure knowledge that I don't have.
I would not be confident that my ideas for this would work well.  But
I could propose general avenues to try, or points for Clojure experts
to think about.  With my understanding of general Emacs issus, and
their understanding of Clojure needs, we could come up with good
solutions to problems of this kind.
