that one doesn't actually work, maybe, not sure why exactly but the assert
is ignored

=> (def component? number?)
#'runtime.q/component?

=> (defmacro defcomponent [name co]
    `(assert (component? ~co) "Not a valid IComponent")
    `(def ~name ~co))
#'runtime.q/defcomponent

=> (defcomponent a "a")
#'runtime.q/a


The `(do ...) one works though,
=> (defmacro a []
     `(println 1)
     `(println 2)
     )
#'runtime.q/a
=> (a)
2
nil

=> (defmacro a []
     `(do
        (println 1)
        (println 2)
        )
     )
#'runtime.q/a
=> (a)
1
2
nil
