Since the bindings are a function of the data that's passed in, IMO
you don't need a anaphoric macro for this.
For example -
(defmacro def-names [names & body]
(let [bindings* (vec (mapcat (juxt symbol identity) names))]
`(let ~bindings*
~@body)))
As to whether it's a good idea or not, I'd say it depends but YMMV.
