Call to clojure.core/refer-clojure did not conform to spec

[kamn]

I ran into this issue with trying to upgrade from Clojure 1.7 to Clojure 1.9 and clj-rethinkdb version 0.11.0 to 0.15.26 and using lein run. I don't think this issue is related to the upgrade but figured I should mention it. Here is a partial stack trace.

Maybe related to the issue here?

I manually updated core.async and it seems to work?

org.clojure/core.async {:mvn/version "1.2.603"} 

[vxe]

clojure 1.10 has the issue with the current core.async
