`aget` in Clojure is only for arrays. Nothing changes just because you are
using ClojureScript.

Using `aget` on objects is as appropriate as adding two strings together
with `+`.

Use the right function for the right type.

Many people have abused this "feature" (including myself). But it's time
people familiarized themselves with the functionality of the `goog.object`
namespace for operations on objects.
