Tower Package Example

  # Simple, coffee-script bundler extension:
  # Obviously this is a bit weird, having a coffee-script file that registers coffee-script files and compiles them.
  # Take this as a simple example, nothing more (though this example fully works in js) and if you include this coffee-script
  # package, then OTHER `package.coffee` files will be accepted.
