Someday. The challenge is load order. A lot would have to change to make
protocols available early enough in Clojure's bootstrap to allow

And if you are writing your own class, you can implement the IDeref interface.
There aren't many value-yielding semantics from many java classes, but
the ones I care about, do matter. Also, in my case, I'm adding
