How so?

(defmacro op [msg args expr]
  `(with-meta (fn ~args ~expr) {:msg ~msg :args '~args :expr '~expr}))

(let [pred1 #(exists? ".foo")
      pred2 (op "checks existance" [] (exists? ".foo"))]
  ;; both these will work, the one with pred1 will give less useful errors.
the API of wait-until is unchanged
  (wait-until pred1)
  (wait-until pred2))

The op macro can include the code in its information.
