Combining the let and map form in a macro. Declare as many bindings as you want, and it will map across them using the symbols. Came to me when I needed something like a "foreach" for templating in Hiccup, but usable in a general context as well. Obviously the macro doesn't generate too much different, but I think its easier on the eyes.
