I often write functions like this:

(defn foobar []
  (let [log (makeLogger "foobar")]
    .... blah blah ))

where makeLogger returns a logging function that prefixes all messages with 
the name provided.

It looks as though macros don't have a "stringize" ability (like the C 
preprocessor) so that this would work:

(defmacro foo [fname & body]
  `(defn ~fname []
     (let [~'log (~'makeLogger "~fname")]
       ~@body)))

When this is expanded, the string comes out as-is: "~fname".
Is there some way to do this?
