I can't speak to Smalltalk, but any namespaced Lisp system can figure out what references what. The key is that the searches happen through the REPL, not grep/a

I can't speak to Smalltalk, but any namespaced Lisp system can figure out what references what. The key is that the searches happen through the REPL, not grep/ag. So if I tell CIDER to find all instances of a Clojure symbol, it can use the namespace to avoid false positives.

Are you saying that reduces the number of false positives or are you saying that eliminates false positives?

  Assuming there's no ambiguity, it can eliminate false positives.
