Maybe add a parameter for the RemoteRef constructor which is the expected return type of the thunk.

julia> typeof(RemoteRef(()->Channel{Int}(1)))
RemoteRef{Channel{Int64}}

julia> typeof(RemoteRef(()->Channel{UTF8String}(1)))
RemoteRef{Channel{UTF8String}}

This isn't a bug.

I never said it was a bug, but it is a problem if you are explicitly creating a RemoteRef and then take!ing from it within the same function.

Can we maybe reopen this as a performance issue or if not, assign a wont-fix label?
