Given some JavaScript library included in the same page as CLJS output:

var Lib = {};

Lib.Thing = function (val) {
    this.val = val;
};

Lib.Thing.prototype.log = function () {
    console.log(this.val);
};

I can bind the Thing property to a local and construct it using new or the dot form. This code compiles and runs without errors, and logs three lines to the console.

(ns cljs-construct-locals-bug.core)

; Legit
(let [thing (new js/Lib.Thing "hello")]
  (.log thing))

; Questionable
(let [Thing (.-Thing js/Lib)
      thing1 (new Thing "maybe")
      thing2 (Thing. "no way")]
  (.log thing1)
  (.log thing2))

I talked to David Nolen and he said this behavior is not correct.
