Thanks for the suggestions Sean and Ben. I learned new functions from both
of you!

Sean, your suggestion yields the following:

(to-consolidated-map [[:a 1] [:b 2] [:a 3]])
; {:a (1 3) :b (2)}

So it still needs to reduce the vals using +. That led me to this:

(defn to-consolidated-map [parts]
  (apply merge-with + (map (fn [[k v]] {k v}) parts)))

Which led me to this:

(defn to-consolidated-map [parts]
  (apply merge-with + (map (partial apply hash-map) parts)))

I like this one because it describes the solution the way I thought about
it - I just didn't know about merge-with. It also has the benefit of using
core fns rather than anonymous fns. WDYT?
