Clojure has a moderately useful named variant of the threading macro for
this kind of situation:
(as-> expr name & forms)
Binds name to expr, evaluates the first form in the lexical context
of that binding, then binds name to that result, repeating for each
successive form, returning the result of the last form.
(I guess I would have chosen the opposite order of the 'expr' and 'name'
arguments, though.)
