@Meikel, I like your solution.  Its key advantage is that you have enable 
arbitrary functionality in the "monitoring" of a channel.  Since I am new 
to Clojure, and I bet others are too, I was subconsciously thinking about 
creating a new kind of channel (monitored channel).  This solution does 
something similar, by defining a new output channel that is a copy of the 
previous channel while enabling monitoring.  You've done this without a new 
type of class.

I particularly like this better than simply adding "count" because it 
solves the problem of *when* to call count for monitoring.  Your code calls 
count iff count changes.

Regardless of implementation, a monitored channel is a good thing.  Not all 
channels have zero queue.  

Thanks,
Paul
