There is no need for a special purpose reduce* function.
Using destructing binding as Sean explains and creating an
intermediate lazy sequence of key/value pairs, this leads to short and
concise code:

(reduce (fn [m [k v]] (assoc m k v)) {} (map vector [:one :another]
(iterate inc 1)))

A good example of Alan J. Perlis quote and  Clojure rationale:

"It is better to have 100 functions operate on one data structure than
to have 10 functions operate on 10 data structures."
