That's right, nothing fancy. Think let-binding the threaded value at that
point. #:with id ~ would achieve the same thing, so as it is now #:as is
redundant. With #:do both #:with and #:as are redundant, really.

Ok, this one I don't quite understand. My first thought went as far as to
weave multiple computations where each #:as would capture continuations and
macro would keep these "threads" separate, but now I'm thinking you mean
this:
(~> 1 #:as ~a
;; now ~a is being threaded
(add1 ~a) ;=> 2
2 #:as ~b
;; now ~b is being threaded
(add1 ~b) ;=> 3
;; simply use whatever ~a was last
(+ ~a ~b) ;=> 5
#:as ~a
;; continue to thread ~a
(add1 ~a) ;=> 3
(list ~a ~b))
;; => (list 3 5)
but then I think you can achieve this with current #:as semantics since a
clause without a hole simply starts computation from that clause yet
preserves any #:as bound vars in scope, so I'm guessing I'm way off. Could
you expand please?
