This calls eval only once when you call functionalise, and doesn't do any tree 
walking.

FWIW this is the trick I use in the tiny genetic programming system at:

That would not work with a symbol other than x:

(defexf  (functionalise  ex  '*z*))

How about this:

(defnfunctionalise  [ex  var]
  (eval`(fn[~(clojure.core/symbol  "xp")]
           ~(clojure.walk/postwalk-replace  {var'xp}ex))))
