| Description |
|
If you just type "@1" is the repl, on previous versions you'll get an error that Long cannot be cast to IDeref. In 1.5, the error message is that it cannot be cast to java.util.concurrent.Future. This is because it assumes that anything that isn't an IDeref is automatically a Future. The deref method should generate a custom error stating that the type you've passed in is neither an IDeref nor a Future. |
