I suppose the following is more idiomatic:

(defn- apply-macro-expander [expander string]
  (let [astr (with-out-str
       (binding [*print-suppress-namespaces* true]
 (with-pprint-dispatch *code-dispatch*
   (pprint (expander (read-from-string string))))))]
      (subs astr 0 (dec (count astr)))))
