DPB, DPBS, something like that

When writing system code especially, but sometimes when writing normal
code, I have often had to write long chains of DPBs, such as
(dpb val1 spec1
(dpb val2 spec2
(dpb val3 spec3
...)))
This (a) gets tedious and (b) looks bad. I would either like to extend
DPB to take an odd number of arguments, or have a new function which
does. (It probably wants to be a function rather than a macro.) Thus,
(dpb val1 spec1
val2 spec2
val3 spec3
...
background-integer)
Have others had a need for this and would find this generally useful?
