"@" with no property compiles to "this", without the dot accessor symbol

[macgyver]

More of a question than an issue, but the only reference to @ in the Coffeescript documentation is this:

As a shortcut for this.property, you can use @property.

You can also use @ as a replacement for this, e.g:

  render: ->
    ...
    @

I guess it's an undocumented feature... in your opinion is this a good practice? Is it safe to use or could it change in future versions?

This has been discussed to great length here: #1601 (and some other issues)

Great, thanks @vendethiel for the link.
