Is there a way to indicate that a (ClojureScript) protocol is intended to 
be used from the host?

Details:

I can define a protocol and an implementation of it in ClojureScript using 
defprotocol and reify. 

I can also successfully call methods on reified instances returned to the 
host (Obj-C embedding JavaScriptCore on iOS). 

The method names are mangled: In addition to the expected and usual 
conversion of hyphens to underscores, the mangled names incorporate dollar 
signs ($) and arity encoding, an example of which is:

  my$full$ns$MyProtocol$a_method_defined_in_this_protocol$arity$1

This can be called, passing this mangled string in as the method name of 
JSValue 
-invokeMethod:withArguments:.

All cool (so long as this mangling is stable from one ClojureScript release 
to the next—but it smells like the mangling could be an implementation 
detail, subject to change). 

The killer is if I turn on Google Closure advanced optimizations; these 
mangled names get renamed.

Is there a way to indicate the protocol names should be preserved? 
(Analogous to the way ^:export can be used on function definitions.)
