Sorry, I meant to file a bug and even try to write a fix, but I was very
pregnant at the time and then I gave birth so it sort of fell by the
wayside. I'm interested in understanding why non-flowing behavior on
conform is expected/desired behavior. I've found that when clojure design
decisions go contrary to my intuitions, I usually learn a lot from
understanding the design motivation. Would you mind explaining?
Cheers,
 Jenny
PS - I did try to google for an answer, and I found the thread where the
docstring for merge got updated to reflect this, but I couldn't find an
explanation.
