Every so often I find myself wanting to apply a collection of functions on several collections of parameters. It\'s easy to do with map and a very simple function.
I can't right now thing of a clojure.core function that you could plug into your map and have it do what you want. So, I'd say, just use your own version.
Matt is probably right that the reason there isn't a funcall, is that you hardly ever need it in a Lisp-1 (meaning, functions and other bindings share the same name space in clojure)
