Clojure 1.3 introduced a feature known as "binding conveyance," which
causes the functions passed in for futures and agent actions to be
wrapped so as to capture the active thread local binding frame at
instantiation. You can achieve a similar effect yourself (although the
mechanism differs) by using the `bound-fn` macro or wrapping an existing
function with `bound-fn*`.
I believe the idea was to make the behavior of dynamic vars in these
contexts less surprising / more useful, but YMMV.

aaa ok thanks a lot...I do think this needs to be documented...I can
add an example on clojureDocs but the actual documentation needs
updating as well...
