Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but why not return true on successful 
put, false otherwise? That would allow for the following:

   (loop []
     (let [results (get-metrics metrics)]
       (when (async/>! mchan results)
         (recur))))

You could terminate blocks simply by closing the channel. You also avoid 
the messy higher order (quit) channel.
