Iced confused by qualified methods named defer

[neverfox]

I'm using a library (Durandal) that has a function system.defer that takes one argument, a callback. You would normally write:

system.defer (dfd) ->
 ...

I get compile errors when I try to do this in IcedCoffeeScript:

system.defer defer dfd

It doesn't seem to be able to tell that the first defer, even though it's a method of system isn't an IcedCoffeeScript directive.

Yeah, that makes sense. defer is an IcedCoffeeScript keyword, which is rewritten by the compiler. However, there's any easy workaround:

system["defer"] defer dfd

This should work, let me know if not...

Thanks. I should have thought to do that.

The above mentioned workaround also comes handy for people using the defer function in underscore.js.
