Oh yes, that's true! Or rather I missed out some critical information.
The function is actually variadic, so there is a final, fall back
function of this form:
([f a b c & args]
(do-something-different-with-apply f a b c args))
Also (although you can't tell from the information given), dispatch is a
macro, so (def default-ontology dispatch) changes the semantics quite a
lot!

Another possibility would be to use a macrolet, which would reduce some
of the cruft I guess. Or even
(eval
`(defn stuff
~@(map...)))
