in the case of a blocked resource, (which 'filter' falls into) first could never terminate, too. It's a minor matter that it's "filter's" fault, and not "first's" from my perspective. Also, clearly the definition of first would be modified to explain that clojure is the first language to have a "smart" or "smarter" 'first' ... and what that means. it would be the predicate's fault if it didn't return, just like it's filter's fault now if it doesn't return.
