Thanks for the explanation! This is very close to what I want. I see some 
confusing behavior though. See below.

I tried your example code works for me, but then I tried using `>!!` 
instead of `offer!` and it behaves differently.

    user> (def c (chan 1 (mapcat identity)))
    => #'user/c
    user> (do 
       (async/thread (async/>!! c [1 2 3]) (println "put #1"))
       (async/thread (async/>!! c [4 5 6]) (println "put #2"))
       (async/thread (async/>!! c [7 8 9]) (println "put #3")))
    put #1

As expected it prints "put #1" right away, and other threads are blocked. 
But...
   
    user> (poll! c)
    => 1
    put #2
    user> (poll! c)
    => 2
    put #3
    
As soon as your read anything from it, other puts succeed. Shouldn't they 
be blocked?
