At the very least there should be nice functions to call to convert back and forth explicitly, if automatic conversion is out and a reader macro will only work for compile time constants. So one could use @@the-structure for constants, and (to-js the-structure) for anything else, or something of the sort. Or is such a function already there, but considered annoying enough to want to be able to hide it in implicit conversions or short, pithy reader macros? Of course, in the latter case, a reader macro that expands to the function call could work on non-constants, though, as @foo already expands to (deref foo) in normal Clojure and does not require foo to be a compile time constant. -- Protege: What is this seething mass of parentheses?!
