James, your patch removes any mention of the :all keyword, and that keyword is not mentioned in the doc string for clojure.core/refer.

I haven't checked whether refer can take :all as an argument, but clojure.core/require definitely can.

For sake of reduced confusion, it would be better if you could either name your patches differently, or delete obsolete ones with identical names as later ones. JIRA allows multiple patches to have the same names, without replacing the earlier ones.

Okay, that's done. The JIRA interface is a bit tedious in places.

James, I do not know whether this change is of interest to the Clojure core team, but see this link for instructions on creating patches in the expected format (yours is not in that format): http://dev.clojure.org/display/community/Developing Patches
