No plan. at all. really.
Might even never be in scope.

What would look the closest to a plan would be to somehow expose the "raw" 
objects so you could "cast" them to jsinterop native types (collections are 
an issue there). And by using an API like "<T> T cast(Class<T> clazz)", a 
JVM adapter could use its own logic to do the mapping into new objects 
(note that JS and JVM would have different behavior wrt updating the 
objects) Raw objects could possibly also be fed into "wrappers" like 
AutoBeans (btw, if it weren't for the –understandable– JsInterop limitation 
that a native type cannot implement/extend a non-jstype interface, 
AutoBeans would probably not have to be wrappers, but only native or 
overlay methods and WeakMap 
<https://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es6/#test-WeakMap> for reified 
types; if the "schema" wasn't the Java interface you actually use in your 
code, those could easily be generated).
