I use a similar macro in my music
code<https://github.com/ctford/leipzig/blob/master/src/leipzig/scale.clj>,
because I want to take a sequence and explicitly give parts of it names.
(defmacro defs [names docstring values]
`(do ~@(map
(fn [name value] `(def ~name ~docstring ~value))
names (eval values))))
(defs
[C D E F G A B]
"A key, expressed as a translation function."
(map
(comp from (from 60) major)
(range)))
This macro is not part of the public API. :-)
