Alex - it makes sense to me that the buffer temporarily expands beyond its 
normal size with the content of the expanding transducer. What does not make 
sense to me is the buffer also accepts puts even though its buffer is full.

Why would the take! process puts when the channel's buffer is full?

I was experimenting with the implementation and I think the patch in this gist 
leads to more intuitive behavior — though it’s possible it breaks something 
else. https://gist.github.com/brianru/d30f0319e7a14d875a80762937cccb9c
