Wow. Sorry for the awful formatting. Re-pasting it from Google Groups 
(instead of email) to fix it:

(def a [[:a 1] [:b 2] [:a 3]])

 

(defn add-maybe [& nums]

  (->> nums

       (remove nil?)

       (reduce +)))

 

(reduce (fn [m [k v]]

          (update-in m [k] add-maybe v))

        {}

        a)

 

;; => {:b 2, :a 4}
