Thank you guys, I think "as->" does more or less what I wanted, so my 
example could be rewritten to:

(defn csv-line->sql-line [table, line]
  (as-> % line
        (str % " ")
        (str/split % separator)
        (map csv-field->sql-field %)
        (str/join ", " %)
        (str/replace strings-wrapper % "\"")
        (str "INSERT INTO ", table, " VALUES(" % ");")))

I guess I can live with 2 more spaces per row, and one more "%" ;-)

As of the conflict with literal form of anonymous function, that's an 
interesting question, so I had to check how it works for "as->", and all is 
fine, you just have to remember about adding "%" after the literal (which 
is how it should work IMHO), so somewhere in the middle of my function 
there could be:
  (as-> % line
     ...
    (#(str "[" % "]") %)
    ...)
