Description
A comment was made that a qualified keyword that uses auto-resolve will substitute the qualified part of the keyword with the current Clojure namespace
https://clojure.org/guides/weird_characters#autoresolved_keys
Does this help with the issues I had with names as part of banking on clojure?
Is auto-resolving names ever a good idea? Code examples of this?
My current feeling is that auto-resolve is more confusing that helpful.

Research direction
Start with the linked Clojure guide section on auto-resolved keywords and compare it with the questions about qualified names and namespaces. Gather representative code examples that explain when auto-resolving helps or causes confusion. Done means the guide or related documentation clearly answers these questions and addresses the banking-related naming concern.
