Simpler to just use the field names which are already bound, rather
than constructing keywords out of them and calling them with juxt:

(defmacro defrecord-withstr [name fields columns include?]
  (let [displayed (if include? columns (remove (set columns) fields))]
    `(defrecord ~name ~fields
       Object
       (toString [_#]
         (clojure.string/join " " [~@displayed])))))
