This workaround doesn't work if the super-namespace doesn't exist. For example, "goog.async" is never provided, but "goog.async.Deferred" is provided (in the third-party bits of closure) and is itself the Deferred constructor.
(:require [goog.ui :as ui]) similarly throws an error for me. Any other workarounds possible yet?
