register and update proxies manually

I'm in the process of learning PureScript and I have a toy project that uses purescript-react-basic. The library provides a way of defining react components where `self` (an alias for `this`) is passed as a param to various life-cycle methods in a wrapper around the component itself. This prevents the react-hot-loading babel plugin from detecting components and creating/registering proxies for them. I was wondering if there's anyway way to manually register and update a proxy?
