Well, it took me a while to perhaps get what you were telling me here.

In my case I I had something like

(defn foo [ & {:keys [bar ... more keys ...] :or {bar 1}} ] ...)

and I wanted to know whether the user had explicilty invoked foo with :bar.

What wasn't clear to me was that :as solved this problem.  
Reading http://clojure.org/special_forms#Special Forms--Binding Forms 
(Destructuring)-Map binding destructuring
I guess I can see that it's telling me :as shows things that weren't in the 
init-form, but that's with hindsight.

So, to emulated common lisp 'supplied-p' semantics, you can check the :as 
form, which will **not**
contain :or values for keywords.

E.g.

user> (defn bar [ & {:keys [baz] :or {baz 'baz} :as all-keys} ] (println 
baz all-keys))
#'user/bar
user> (bar :bof 1)
baz {:bof 1}
nil

And not that the all-keys form does not show a binding for baz, and that's 
what I wanted.

Just fyi in case anybody searches topics for 'supplied-p' again.
