pass emit as an argument
allow the map function to be passed a second argument, the emit function.
Benefits as I see them
- 100% backwards compatible, emit is still in the execution closure.
- makes it possible to run views in pure JavaScript without having to use
eval (e.g. in pouchdb)
- allows emit to be renamed in the case of some sort of collision, the
circumstances of which I can't imagine.
I can write tests if this is something worth pursuing, though at the moment
I'm having troubling fathoming the ruby wrapped JavaScript testing format.
Thanks.
