It doesn't teach you logic programming, but at least it could explain
the arguments. Something like:
(defmacro exist [[& x-rest] & g-rest]
"Takes a vector of symbols that are provided as fresh vars in body."
{:arglists '([[sym*] & body])}
`(fn [a#]
(inc
(let [~@(lvar-binds x-rest)]
(bind* a# ~@g-rest)))))

Yes, it's on my reading list. :-)

Got it.

I'm looking forward to reading more of those. :-)
