#foo gensyms don't survive across a 'break' in quoting
you can do
`(let [foo# bar]
(other stuff
(foo# ...)))
but you can not do
`(let [foo# bar]
~(for [i s]
`(foo# ...)))
or anything like that. The workaround is to create a gensym explicitly
using (gensym), let that, and splice it in wherever you need the gensym.
