Is there a principled reason for this? I have written some code that
(unintentionally) limits itself to refs because it assumes that all

Using deref or @ works with all reference types:

        user> (defn my-fn [x] (+ x 3))
        #'user/my-fn
        user> (def my-agent (agent my-fn))
        #'user/my-agent
        user> (@my-agent 4)
        7

suggests that reference types implementing IFn isn't the intended behavior.
