Description

Such a protocol would make it possible to build custom connection/ref objects with special lifecycle functionality and capabilities. Right now the connections is just an atom, but it would be nice (for example) to be able to implement it as a Reagent r/atom. This could be helpful for some things we're thinking about for Posh (reactive filters and the like).

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the current connection is represented as an atom and how a protocol could support custom connection or ref objects. Consider the Reagent r/atom example and the lifecycle and capability requirements; done would mean an agreed, implemented protocol that supports the proposed custom objects.
