Okay, gotcha! Actually your example was perfect: yes, this is clearly a problem. Indeed I hadn't put much thought into it since I personally have no use for de/serialization of STM objects. I think the identity issue should be solvable but before opening that door: is this something anyone _wants_ solved? Is there a good use- case for trying to freeze STM objects? What do you think, Timothy? Maybe best to disable the STM stuff for now to avoid possible confusion? -- Peter -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
