I had a look at the CoffeeScript source. Is there some reason why you're not using CoffeeScript's `class`? It would save you having to do all the `tyto::foo` and `tyto = this` stuff.
I did start out using class in coffeescript but I couldn't get it to work quite how I wanted to at the time but I was brushing up on my coffeescript and it is a really valid point and therefore I shall probably revisit this to refactor into that form. It does make sense after all.
