I see. It's hard to imagine how this could work, since macros don't
have access to runtime data like the value of x in your example.
Perhaps you're better off writing a function that returns a closure,
and iteratively def'ing those?

user=> (defn make-kw-fn [kw]
         #(= kw %))
#'user/make-kw-fn
user=>
(def kws [:a :b])
#'user/kws
user=>
(eval (cons 'do (map #(list 'def (symbol (str "test-" (name %))) (make-
kw-fn %)) kws)))
#'user/test-b
user=> (test-b :a)
false
user=> (test-b :b)
true
