I'm trying to build a string output system with functions that later have a 
state passed to it, so that I can write something like (output "The result 
of this example is: " (get :result)) and have it passed to a parsing 
function that takes a state and calls the functions in the list, something 
like (let [state] {:result "success"}](-> state (get :result))). Basically, 
a delayed evaluation of the functions in the list until they get the 
context later.

I've gotten far enough that I can send an unevaluated list of 
single-argument functions via(defmacro output [& data] `[~@data]) but 
sending a function plus some arguments is trickier and I'm having trouble 
working out the quoting and unquoting that needs to go on.

Alternately, is there a better way to solve my original problem? Basically, 
I want to have a concise and simple format to enter mostly text with a few 
functions/variables and have it evaluated in a totally different context 
later. Or maybe there's a parser or text processing library that would 
handle this better?
