macro for making function

gistfile1.clj

(defmacro kb-test [name triples & body]
  `(defn ~name [kb-creator]
     (binding [*kb* (new-test-kb kb-creator ~triples)]
       ~@body)))


create this:

user> (macroexpand-1 '(kb-test test-kb-up test-triples
         (is kb)))
(clojure.core/defn test-kb-up [user/kb-creator]
  (clojure.core/binding [user/*kb* (user/new-test-kb user/kb-creator test-triples)] 
    (is kb)))


and when used it creates an error because of user/kb-creator not kb-creator

user> (kb-test test-kb-up test-triples
         (is kb))

Can't use qualified name as parameter: user/kb-creator
  [Thrown class java.lang.RuntimeException]

the answer is that parameters need to be created with gensym to protect against capture. so that needs to be kb-creator#.
