add :as-of option to refer

Question

Discussed here: http://groups.google.com/group/clojure-dev/msg/74af612909dcbe56

:as-of allows library authors to specify a known subset of vars to refer from clojure (or any other library which would use :added metadata).

(ns foo (:refer-clojure :as-of "1.1")) is equivalent to (ns foo (:refer-clojure :only (link: public-documented-vars-which-already-existed-in-1.1)))
