I think I see the goal now: to allow calling with either a map or sequential
key-value pairs.
What you have appears correct and minimal for that purpose.
For a function taking a sequence, you can accomplish something similar without
a second arity by choosing to call directly or call using apply. For a map the
apply case isn't as simple.
Given:
(defn blah
[& {:as blah-map}]
;; do stuff with blah-map)
(def m {:1 :2 :3 :4})
To call it "apply-style" with a map, you could use:
(apply blah (reduce concat m))
