I don't know that there is necessarily a recommended way to offer
options. Sometimes people want keyword options, sometime the want to
take options as a map, sometimes they need to do it one way or another
for various reasons, sometime they do it one way and later learn of a
better way.
To take options in the way you have specified, you can use
destructuring to simplify:
(defn write-csv [writer data & {:as opts}] ...)
- or -
(defn write-csv [writer data & {:keys [separator quote ...]}] ...)
- or -
(defn write-csv [writer data & {:keys [separator quote ...] :as opts}] ...)
