What are the plans for the future of proxy? I assume it won't go away because reify's inability to extend an existing class is a show-stopper for some Java interop scenarios. Will the syntax be brought in line with reify so dots will be needed in front of method names? As things stand it's a potential source of confusion to have two such similar features with subtly different syntax.
