Question

This should give you a global named function (yes, it's a little hacky, but far less that using backticks):

# wrap in a self invoking function to capture global context
do ->
  # use a class to create named function
  class @triggerableFunction
    # the constructor is invoked at instantiation, this should be the function body
    constructor: (arg1, arg2) ->
      # whatever
