Gary your last comment hits what I look for exactly: "If you are looking for an encoding of clojure's syntax extensions into pure edn reader tags (as my crystall ball tells me you might be), I haven't encountered such a thing yet, even though it's conceivable."
My use case is to pass functions in configuration files (thus effecting behavior), sending functions over the wire or storing them is another use case Its not enough to include the body, but also include required namespaces, params it expects etc..
