Micro JavaScript Dependancy Injection.Written in CoffeeScript / JS.This is *approximately* how AngularJS works.
# Micro JavaScript Dependancy Injection
define = (name, val) ->
#init modules map if missing
define.mods = define.mods or {}
#store 'name'
define.mods[name] = val
inject = (fn) ->
#regex match on function.toString()
m = fn.toString().match /function\s(\w+)?\((.*)\)/
throw "Function parse failed" unless m
#prepare arguments
args = []
#loop through function parameter names
for name in m[2].split(", ")
continue unless name
#look for module with 'name'
m = define.mods[name]
throw "Missing '#{name}' module" unless m
#add to arguments
args.push m
#call function with arguments
fn.apply this, args
#example usage
define 'a', 42
define 'b', 21
define 'c', 7
inject -> print "no-args" #no-args
inject (b) -> print b #21
inject (a,b,c) -> print a+b-c #56
// Micro JavaScript Dependancy Injection

As Function.toString() is defined lexically (and so statically), I think it would be nice also to have such thing implemented as a source code transform.
