CoffeeScript Caesar shift

For small occasions (like month-anniversaries), I like to make little websites
for people that only "unlock" on the right day.

Foolproof security would unlock the page with the server, but I don't want to
go through all the effort. I just want to prevent people from opening up "View
Source" and seeing what I've written, so I wrote a Caesar cipher in JavaScript
to obfuscate the text a bit, which will then reverse when I want the page to
unlock.

Call it like this:

    caesarShift('Attack at dawn!', 12)     # Returns "Mffmow mf pmiz!"

And reverse it like this:

    caesarShift('Mffmow mf pmiz!', -12)    # Returns "Attack at dawn!"

Easy peasy! Enjoy.
