In 1.2.7 release, a keyword :foo-bar is translated as 'foo-bar'. I think the prior release, it was translated to 'foo_bar'.

Translating :foo-bar to 'foo_bar' makes it easy to write code such as {:foo-bar (fn [] ...)} and later refer to it as (.foo-bar baz). Can this behavior be restored?

When I try (use 'clojurejs.js) in lein repl using Clojure 1.5.1 I get this error:

CompilerException java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Duplicate case test constant: quote, compiling:(clojurejs/js.clj:487:5)

Multiple arity support for the defn and fn forms could be implemented by conditionally dispatching on the Javascript Function.length property.

Currently slot (or field) access is done via the get special form, which simply does an array index lookup. Presumably, the same could be done for length as well, via a macro in boot.cljs, instead of treating it as a reserved word.

Since macro expanders are kept in a single global ref, macros with the same name in different clojurejs scripts will overwrite one another, which is bad. Since, macro definitions need to be persistent across multiple HTTP requests, using a thread local binding isn't a sufficient solution.

One idea is to implement a minimal ns form in clojurejs, which could establish the namespace for a given clojurejs script, and keep the macro definitions independent.
