Attached 872-add-prop-lookup.patch. It's a first cut that Fogus and I worked on. It needs tests.

Can you explain the compiler change? It appears to implement the desired functionality, but also to disable a code path that allows keywords for field lookup (the block at line 892 can no longer be reached by a keyword).

Clojure has for a while secretly allowed kw lookup for field access. However, in the discussions with Rich and Clojure/dev at http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/Unified+ClojureScript+and+Clojure+field+access+syntax it was decided to use -prop across CLJ and CLJS thus obviating the need for kw access.
