This is a godsend. I would love this feature in CoffeeScript. What do you guys think? =)

Looks like a great idea. +1

Glad you like it! Thanks. =)

This would be lovely! I don't have the time to do anything this week but will be free next week, and I'd like to get contributing to CoffeeScript, so I might give this a go. Jeremy, is there a contributor's guide floating around anywhere?

[jashkenas]

There isn't a contributor's guide written up anywhere ... but we should really add one to the Wiki. Thanks for the idea.

Any feedback on my patch? I'm open to improving it as necessary.
