Arguments By Type

Provide some arguments, get back a hash object of the arguments indexed by their type. Very useful for agnostic argument orders. ## Usage Let's say your coding a function, and you want to accept arguments in any order. Traditionally this would look like: > https://github.com/bevry/argsbytype/blob/master/example/01.js But what happens when you: - Start having arguments that are regular expressions or dates which `typeof` is still `object` instead of `regexp` or `date` - Or, when you start having multiple arguments of the same type, that you would like to accept (e.g. the first string should be the `name` property, the second string should be the `keyword` property) At that point in time, it becomes too much trouble to bother with. Fortunately, `argsbytype` is to the rescue! Now you can do: > https://github.com/bevry/argsbytype/blob/master/example/02.js Yay! Big win for agnostic argument order! But when would you actually want this? Well, it turns out that in CoffeeScript options come first, in JavaScript, options usually come last. By using this, we can support both conventions, for example: > https://github.com/bevry/argsbytype/blob/master/example/03.js
