use does accept an :as option: => (use '[clojure.set :as set]) => set/intersection #<set$intersection clojure.set$intersection@58ca40be> Prior to the addition of :refer to require, this was often paired with an :only (...) in order to alias a namespace as well as refer in some limited set of vars if desired, all in one declaration.
