Hey Peter, I personally found out that I require this functionality more when I am building web apps because I pass around the url query parameters to other functions for validation or other tasks and build my sql queries from there so some default are required. For several other clojure server apps I made I never found myself needing this.
A :merge-as would be nice, maybe something with the use of macro can be done. I used assoc as Sean suggested but It can get easily ugly if you have a lot of parameters and plenty functions needing this.
