I hacked this together:
(defn f [& args] (let [default-args-atom (atom {:a 1 :b 2 :c 3 :d 4}) kwds
(vec (keys @default-args-atom))
kwargs (map-indexed (fn [idx arg] (if
(keyword? arg) (swap! default-args-atom assoc arg (get args (inc idx)))
(swap! a assoc (get kwds idx) arg))) args)]
(function-that-actually-does-what-i-want-to-do (:a @default-args-atom)
(:b @default-args-atom) (:c @default-args-atom) (:d @default-args-atom)))
But it seems kind of gross to me. Is there a cleaner solution?
