testcheck-js Generate circular data

A bug got passed me because testcheck does not generate circular data using the gen.any. Would it be reasonable to add circular data to the generators?

Sounds like an interesting challenge!

Why is it interesting? Is it because clojure script prefers immutable data? Does it have the tools to work with Javascript references?

Yeah exactly, I don't think Clojure will easily generate cycles, so that may need to be an explicit follow up step
