Python **kwargs like functionality when doing function call

;; Just for fun!
;; If Clojure were like Python, I could have used (asdf **{:a 1 :b 2 :c 3}) when calling asdf

user> (defn asdf
        [& {:keys [a b c]}]
        [a b c])
#'user/asdf
user> (defmacro call**
        [func kw-map]
        `(~func ~@(mapcat identity kw-map)))
#'user/call**
user> (call** asdf {:a 1 :b 2 :c 3})
[1 2 3]
user> (macroexpand '(call** asdf {:a 1 :b 2 :c 3}))
(asdf :a 1 :b 2 :c 3)
user> 

In my opinion this doesn't need to be a macro at all. I would write this like this -

(defn apply*
  "Applies fn f to the key/value list indicated by argmap."
  [f argmap]
  (let [args (mapcat identity argmap)]
    (apply f args)))

(apply* asdf {:a 1 :b 2 :c 3})
;=> [1 2 3]

IMHO, @ghoseb's version is more idiomatic.

@citizen428 +1 I was hell bent to create a macro. :-)
