I would also recommend reconsidering the premise that this is a feature that is needed. Go back to what your design goals and think about implementing them in a slightly different way. Function composition, for example, can do all sorts of wonderful things.
At the risk of sounding rude, I've been programming Clojure for about 5-6 years and have never needed a feature like this. So I'm wondering what it is you are building that makes your experience differ from mine.
