Well, I think that the ofns should probably be closures, at which point the binding of the variables only matters when they are defined, after that defining a out of context wouldn't overwrite the a in the ofn. If not, we could have the ofn replace each symbol with a gensym tagged with 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. Then it wouldn't matter what you did with the original name. The gensym replacement only happens, of course, if the var is unbound during definition.

Here's a question: how does anarki's [ _1 _2 _3 ] form work when nested?
