As nobody else has said this, it bears making explicit that:

* swap! is for when the new value depends, in some way, on the previous
value.

* reset! is for when the new value is independent of the previous value.

If you're simply setting a flag, for example, (reset! foo true) works. If
you're incrementing a counter, though, you want (swap! foo inc), etc.
