@alexmiller based on a discussion in #clojure I took another look at https://clojure.atlassian.net/browse/ASYNC-225 and decided their root cause analysis didn't go far enough, so their conclusion (they need a new feature, non-shared timeouts) was faulty. I dropped a patch on the ticket that I think solves their real issue (the non-selected channel operations in an alt retain a reference to closed over data potentially indefinitely), without adding a new feature. The ticket however is still tagged as a 'new feature' and 'minor', so I wanted to ping you because I think my patch solves their root issue, doesn't add a new feature, and has a large potential impact on memory usage in core-async heavy programs.

maybe a new ticket would be better?
