I've been following CouchDB for a while, but only started playing with
it seriously very recently.
One thing I keep catching myself with is that map functions receive
the document as a parameter, and I keep looking for it in 'this'.
Maybe that's because I spend too much time with JavaScript, or maybe
it's because I don't spend enough time with CouchDB. A one-line patch
follows, that allows for 'this' to be used as well as the positional
arg.
There may well be good reasons why this isn't sensible, and really
it's just sugar, but I thought I'd dive in and give it a try.
Regards,
James.
