Extendable Revealing Module
===========
## This was a fun experiment, but I don't recommend using it. It introduces funny problems with scope.
JavaScript's popular Revealing Module pattern has this disadvantage that it is impossible to extend any behaviour related to the private parts [this joke is never getting old].
This little bit of code has been devised to do just that.
## Usage:
`Module.extend` - pass a callback function that does the extension. The callback gains access to the whole module definition (passed as the single argument).
`_public` - a private array of properties that are supposed to be publicly avaliable.
### Example:
var Duck = Module.extend(function(M) {
// M is the private parts
M.sound = 'Quack';
M.translateToDucky = function(a) {
return a.split(' ').join(' '+M.sound+' ');
}
//set up what will be public
M._public.push('say');
M.say = function(a) {
return M.translateToDucky(a);
}
//just remember to do this
return M;
});
Duck.say('Hello all you happy people');
//Hello Quack all Quack you Quack happy Quack people
