Identify unused namespaces (via import or require) - 0.1.04

[hlship]

I would very much like it if Cursive could identify (use) and (require) in the (ns) element that are not actually used, and provide an intention to clean them up.

Yes, this is on my list to do very soon, along with unused local symbols (function parameters, local bindings etc).

Well, after only a year, the first part of this is implemented - Cursive will mark unused aliases from :require and :use forms. There's no intention to clean up yet and :referred items are also not marked, that should be coming soon. In general the intention is a little tricky because require is not just an aliasing mechanism, it also loads code, so removing it automatically can break code.

[hlship]

Thanks for implementing this, and I look forward to the later improvements.

So, how the :refer part coming along? And the intentions?

I'm just a bit obsessive about my (ns) block containing only exactly what's currently used by the code.

@hlship you might want to take a look at slamhound. It sounds like it does exactly what you want.

No real progress, sorry, I've been tied up with other things - I'll try to get to it soon. Once that's working I can do a proper "Optimize namespace", too, which will be great, and this is also the basis of other useful things like moving functions to other namespaces (see #817).

We're using :refer quite a lot and would love to see unused refers highlighted at least.
