My approach (which I might upload once I've tidied it up a bit) was to
use a hash-map of [x y] cell coordinates to a set of all remaining
numbers. So, something like:

{[0 0] #{1 2 3 4} [0 1] #{5 6 7 8} …}

Then I just made some functions that mapped an [x y] pair to all it's
peers -- e.g. unit, row, col (which were generated by another
function.) I memoized those functions.

The only hassle with a map is that iterating over it (in my case, with
a `for`) turns it into a list of [key value], which makes it a pain to
turn back into a map once you're done. The magical incantation for
round-tripping turns out to be:

(apply hash-map (apply concat seq-of-pairs))
