Those fishy things were errors I made when simplifying and transcribing the
proxy to post, but I have it correct in my own code.

Here's a more precise, tested minimal example:

(definterface Interface (test []))
(def p (proxy [Object Interface] [] (test [] 1)))
(defn get-test [o] (.test ^Interface o))

=> (get-test p)
This throws an error that it can't cast the proxy to Interface.

If you remove the ^Interface type hint, then get-test will work but will
trigger reflection.

Thanks for looking at this. It seems like it should work, but it doesn't.
