I want to have a way to print progress message before and after
invoking a function/expression. Came up with this macro

(defmacro run-with-msg [msg & body]
 (doto *out*
  (. write (format "%s..." msg))
  (. flush))
 `(let [res# ~@body]
     (println "done")
     res#))

user=> (run-with-msg "Working" (Thread/sleep 2000))
Working...done
nil

But msg is not printed by itself. In example above I don't see
"Working...". As you can see I tried to print directly to *out*
(instead of printf) and explicitly flushing *out* with no avail.

Any idea what is going on here?
