clojure.spec already does this by communicating the path where the failure
occurred. Also if you use s/cat you can label the arguments which I think
is probably more friendly and you'll still get the path.

(require '[cljs.spec :as s])
(defn foo [a b c] (+ a b c))
(s/fdef foo
  :args (s/cat :a number? :b number? :c number?))
(s/instrument #'foo)
(foo 1 2 :bar)

;; Error: Call to #'cljs.user/foo did not conform to spec:
;; In: [2] val: :bar fails at: [:args :c] predicate: number?
;; :cljs.spec/args  (1 2 :bar)
