I don't see how this should work. The re-defined variable has thread-local scope and shouldn't be viewable in other threads. If it was not so, then evaluating a form (foo ...) would mean that foo would have to be looked up through a ref. Which in turn means that you need to be in a transaction. This again means you wouldn't see the mutation that is done in another thread anyway.
