Ah, indeed.  I really whished that would throw an error.  I mean, it's
cool that keywords can lookup themselves in maps, but I don't think
that's needed for symbols.  At least I've never seen occurences of

  ('foo my-map)
  ('foo my-map ::default)

in real code, and it's likely to shadow errors such as mine.

Anyway, using `resolve` works:

  (defmacro do-do [x afn]
    `(do ~((resolve afn) x)))

Is that what one would use, or is there something better?

Bye,
Tassilo
