A client could use a timeout channel as its receive channel to get
timeouts on a blocking call, though I don't think that's the right way
to do it. Alternatively, implementing a blocking call with an optional
timeout wouldn't be difficult, it just can't be the default.
I think if you disallowed nil as a response, then it would be easy to
use a variety of different blocking calls -- wait forever, wait 30
seconds, wait until (f) returns truthy, etc.

Ugh. At the *very* least it should eventually return with some kind of
a timeout exception.
