Such behavior would be quite surprising; to see why, desugar :keys:
{x (expr-that-computes :x),
y (expr-that-computes :y),
z (expr-that-computes :z),
:or {x "x-default" y "y-default"} :merge-as args}
which treats bindings as having bidirectional flow; we bind a name to
the value of a keyword, rewriting in the other direction if the value
isn't present.

When you want this,
(let [{blah} (merge my-defaults kwargs)]
