If solving a more general problem first counts as elegant, then here
is a solution:
(defn map-replace
"Return coll but replace every element for which pred returns true
with
(f element replacement-element) as long as there are replacement
elements in
replacements"
[pred f coll replacements]
(lazy-seq
(if (seq coll)
(let [[x & xs] coll
[y & ys] replacements]
(if (pred x)
(cons (f x y) (map-replace pred f xs ys))
(cons x (map-replace pred f xs replacements)))))))
(defn nil-coalesce
"Replace all occurrences of nil in coll with replacement items in
replacements"
[coll replacements]
(map-replacements nil? (fn [x y] y) coll replacements))
