Hey all,

As currently implemented:

(defn foo
  [& {:keys [x y z] :or {x "x-default" y "y-default"} *:as* args}]
  args)

(foo) => *nil*

Is there a way anyone can think of (macro, etc.) that'd allow for something 
like this:

(defn foo
  [& {:keys [x y z] :or {x "x-default" y "y-default"} *:merge-as* args}]
  args)

(foo) =>* {:x "x-default" :y "y-default**}*

I.e. to merge the :or defaults over the :args binding?

Rationale:  one of the nice things of setting defaults via :or is that 
they're visible to callers via :arglists. This'd help make the process more 
convenient in the (relatively common) case where you'd like to preserve 
arbitrary args, but apply some defaults in a transparent way.

Thanks!
