As the point with theses template tags is to write less code, Instead of manually specifying the content type for coffee script why not add a coffeescript helper.

I suggest to keep your modification (it allows for unsupported content types) and add both coffee and coffeescript helpers so you can write:

{% js "js/my.coffee" type="text/coffeescript" %}
{% coffeescript "js/my.coffee" %}
{% coffee "js/my.coffee" %}

I'll merge it ASAP before making a new release.

I like that idea. I didn't do it because of the profusion of languages like
coffeescript, clojurescript, brython, hotruby, etc (see
https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/wiki/List-of-languages-that-compile-to-JS,
not all of which can be compiled in the browser), so I thought a more
generic solution might be better.

Coffeescript does seem to have the most mindshare right now, so
special-casing it it probably worthwhile.

What kind of guy calls himself the Software Maven???

I agree, coffeescript is more widely used than other alternatives and it might need a special treatment :)

I'll add the coffeescript template tag myself because I need to release.
