A similar argument could be made for several of the other couple of dozen
private names in core.clj. They are not, because "useful" is a much lower bar
than "core".
That said, useful things deserve a good home. Fortunately there is a contrib
for macro utilities: https://github.com/clojure/tools.macro. This would be a
good home for an improved version of assert-args, plus other macro
error-reporting tools people find useful.
