CompilerException when macroexpanding an ns containing reader-condtional requires

[chr15m]

I am trying to generate docs for Sitefox and running into the following error when it encounters deps.cljc.

> ( echo '# Readme'; cat README.md ) > codox-readme.md && clojure -X:codox

Could not generate clojure documentation for sitefox.deps - root cause: clojure.lang.Compiler$CompilerException Syntax error macroexpanding clojure.core/ns at (sitefox/deps.cljc:1:1).
Syntax error macroexpanding clojure.core/ns at (sitefox/deps.cljc:1:1).
Call to clojure.core/ns did not conform to spec.

You can find deps.cljc here - it could be the non-standard reader conditionals that are causing this.

To reproduce this issue locally check out the Sitefox repo and then run npm run docs (which runs ( echo '# Readme'; cat README.md ) > codox-readme.md && clojure -X:codox if you don't have npm installed).

@weavejester I managed to work around this by removing the offending deps.cljc and replacing it with a simple stub like (ns sitefox.deps).
