A very basic version that works:
(defmacro defmatch [name & patterns]
(let [bindings (take (count (first patterns))
(repeatedly #(gensym "ocr-")))]
`(defn ~name [~@bindings]
(match [~@bindings]
~@patterns))))
A bit more work is required to make this idiomatic w/ Clojure's conventions
around multiple arity fns.
Predicate dispatch will make this macro unnecessary and I'd rather focus on
that.
