It can't be „simply“ a function, because then it has no access to the local 
environment.

(let [x 99]
  (<< "~x bottles of beer"))

This does not work if << is a function. You could imagine a function taking a 
map with bindings.

(<< "~x bottles of beer" {:x 99})

But then: why not use format in the first place?

Sincerely
Meikel
