([ns sym] [ns env sym])

Returns the var or Class to which a symbol will be resolved in the namespace (unless found in the environment), else nil. Note that if the symbol is fully qualified, the var/Class to which it resolves need not be present in the namespace.

;; In the binary form of `ns-resolve`, if a fully qualified symbol is given as second argument of `ns-resolve`, then the namespace (given as first argument) is ignored (ns-resolve (find-ns 'clojure.core) 'clojure-rte.core/xyzzy) ;; => #'clojure-rte.core/xyzzy

Note by steveminer

The appropriate value for the env arg is what you get from the implicit &env arg available to a macro.
