Interesting -- it's certainly more generic than the solution that I have
worked up. I'd need to add something for the variadic fall-back call.
Thank you!

I have a number of fairly nasty functions with a form that looks like
this:
(defn default-ontology
([f]
(dispatch f))
([f a]
(dispatch f a))
([f a b]
(dispatch f a b))
([f a b c]
(dispatch f a b c))
([f a b c d]
(dispatch f a b c d))
([f a b c d e]
