I notice it happens on Clojure 1.5.0-master-SNAPSHOT also.
Calling something like:
(future-cancelled? f)
*true*
before getting @f makes sense, but since I'm a clojure newb I don't know
what showing "f" (not @f) would show. Maybe it should show something like:
#<core$future_call$reify__3499@7c9391d9: :cancelled>
and only @f should throw. That would make some sense to me. And it would
make me understand what you wanted.
But it appears as if it's trying to also show @f  or maybe only show @f
instead of the ":cancelled" part, as it does when the future is
"future-done?"
