I'm a clojure newbie trying to understand when to use atoms versus refs. In clojure-http.resourcefully, if you use the with-cookies macro stores the cookies in a thread local ref. Why a ref and not an atom? My impression is that refs are for when you need to coordinate changes to more than one variable, or maybe if you need triggered validations.
