Not that I know of.

Why a macro instead of a function?
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defn parse-double [s & [d]]
(try
(Double/valueOf s)
(catch Exception _ d)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
That way, you can use it directly with higher-order functions:
;; Without default value
(map parse-double
["0" "1.5" "3.8e-1" "broken" "0x1.bP2" "Infinity" "NaN"])
==> (0.0 1.5 0.38 nil 6.75 Infinity NaN)
;; With default value 42.0
(map #(parse-double % 42.0)
["0" "1.5" "3.8e-1" "broken" "0x1.bP2" "Infinity" "NaN"])
==> (0.0 1.5 0.38 42.0 6.75 Infinity NaN)
