doto.coffee

doto = (object, operations...) ->
  process = (operation) ->
    for method, arguments of operation
      # Additional fancy nonsense to keep things DRY
      if method is 'repeatedly'
        [method, arguments] = [name,args] for name, args of arguments
        operation = {}
        for argument in arguments
          operation["#{method}"] = argument
          process operation
        continue
      else
        arguments = [arguments] if typeof arguments isnt 'object'
        try
          object[method](arguments...)
        catch error
          throw "Invalid operation on #{object}: #{method}(#{arguments})"

  for operation in operations
      process operation
