Just looking at today's commits... the regression in alpha 8 is fixed (thank you!) and I see :defaults is going away... could you speak a bit more about the thinking behind that? Both what led to introducing :defaults and now its removal?

When :defaults appeared, I scoured our codebase to see if there were use cases for it and I must admit, I failed to find any...
iirc a previous version of :all or :select didn't populate the result with the values in :or, and :defaults was intended to cover that for merging after

yeah, we worked past the use case of needing it (:all and/or :select + :excess) should now be sufficient for the use cases we were thinking about

(ca/! c (with-meta [] {:some-metadata 1213}))
(meta (ca/

I can reproduce on alpha8, expanding the new inline meta form shows the expression that throws
(let [c (a/chan 1)]
(a/go
(a/>! c [])
(let [G__x (a/👍 1

Yes, should be fixed in next alpha

Yes, can confirm
