;; imenu support
;;

;; This is a pretty naive but workable way of doing it. First we look

;;
;; Should cover cases like these:
;;
;; minus: (x, y) -> x - y
;; String::length: -> 10
;; block: ->
;;   print('potion')
;;
;; Next we look for any line that starts with `class' or
;; `coffee-assign-regexp' followed by `{` and drop into a
;; namespace. This means we search one indentation level deeper for
;; more assignments and add them to the alist prefixed with the
;; namespace name.

;; class Person
