This one took me a few minutes to see what I was doing wrong:

~~~
user=> (def m (atom {:x 1 :y 2}))
#'user/m

;; Later on ...
user=> (get m :x)
nil

;; What?? `:x` isn't a key in `m`? But I *know* it is...

;; Sanity check, for comparison:
user=> (get {:a 1 :b 2} :c)    ; Right; `:c` is not a key in there, so I 
get `nil`.
nil

;; Time passes and I eventually see the typo:
user=> (get @m :x)
1
~~~

Would be nice if that `(get m :x)` yielded an error message along the lines 
of, "That's not a map, it's a reference to an atom containing a map."
