Or, you could just write foo as ;;Adjusting for 2d (defmacro foo [vec-vec-of-symbols] (let [vec-vec-of-str (vec (map (comp vec (partial map str)) vec-vec- of-symbols))] `(foo* ~vec-vec-of-str)))
This let you write foo* to handle strings. Anyway, the key thing to note in both examples is that the heavy lifting is delegated to another function. This is an element of good macro design.
