(CLJS) go macro not correctly transforming (case) within a macro
Description
(case-let) is a macro to handle messages of the form [:message-tag, arg1, arg2, ...] with the arguments bound to local variables. It fails to work correctly when used within a go block. Note that a simple macro with a case, e.g. (defmacro my-case [expr & cases] `(case ~expr ~@cases)) does work.

I've discovered an easy workaround for this problem. During macro-expansion core names like case become fully qualified, i.e. cljs.core/case, and it seems that the go macro then fails to recognise the case as such. Replacing case with ~'case in the definition of let-case fixes the problem.
I would hope this leads to an easy fix for someone who knows the core.async codebase.
The working macro is:
