I wonder why this can't become a language feature? Couldn't Clojure attach
the :source metadata directly to function objects (in addition to vars)? Is
there a JIRA ticket for it? I'd instant-vote for it because I know it would
make my debugging faster.

Okay. Thanks BG :)

Then you can search and replace the invocations. ~BG

Hey BG,
Yes, having metadata is really a straight forward way but this is kind
of extra work in every wait-until call which I was trying to avoid. Going
with metadata option will not just cause extra work for wait-until in
future code but even I need to add it at all the places in wherever i
Shalaka,
This is a really interesting conversation :-) However, I'd insist that you
ditch eval or any sort of complicated affair and adopt the metadata
approach as I had suggested that day :-P

Hey, Thanks Herwig & Mohit.
So, I have one more solution.
Here is the original wait-until function-
(defn wait-until
([pred] (wait/wait-until *driver* (fn [_] pred))) ([pred timeout] (wait/
wait-until *driver* (fn [_] pred) timeout)) ([pred timeout interval] (wait/
wait-until *driver* (fn [
I see what you mean, this is nice [?]

"but it won't give useful information if you don't construct the op inline."
The interesting question here is what constitutes useful information! The
trade-off is breaking an existing public API.
If Shalaka's primary goal is prettier errors in test failures, I'd settle
for the fn body itself as

Hi Shalaka,
+1 to what Herwig said.
Changing wait-until to a macro seems like the simplest way to tackle this.
It gives you access to pred at compile time, does not force the caller to
add meta-data to pred, and you can construct the error message as you like.
The challenge with your approach 1
I'd definitely go with 1.), because the `exec` in 2.) is basically `eval`
and thus should be used most sparingly.
You can also expand on 1.) by using a macro, that stores the source and
other debugging information in metadata and thus get all the benefits of
2.) and then some.

I have one function wait-until whose definition is like-

where, pred is a function & wai-until* is some internal working.
Now, I want to modify it like-
(defn wait-until
