Mocking - not testing - private functions in JavaScript

Instead of trying to extract a private function, we can rely on mocking/spying. This gist shows how to use the "new Function()" constructor to replace an internal call so that we can mock, spy or stub.

Another response to @philwalton - 
http://philipwalton.com/articles/how-to-unit-test-private-functions-in-javascript/

This is a followup to https://gist.github.com/dfkaye/5971486 - a suggestion for 
*annotating* functions to be extracted and tested separately (publicly).
