MVC3 Razor - Adding JavaScript and CSS files to document head

Question

I've used this before but i've forgotten the name of the method. I'm guessing it must be exclusive to MVC3/Razor. Is there a method that allows you to include a JavaScript or CSS file and then specify that it should be in the head. I remember it as two different methods similar to the following

IncludeJS("my.js").AtHead();
IncludeCSS("my.css").AtHead();

They might be HTML helpers but I can't find any reference to them anywhere. Am I going mad?

Why not just put it into the _Layout.cshtml file? with the rest of your script/css includes? — Bob.

Echo Jamie, just write a custom Html.IncludeJS helper extension. Btw, javascript best practices dictates that you should stick scripts right before </body>. This will allow your content to load faster, though you will have to deal with FOUC potentially. — Milimetric

That page is helpful for JS files, but it doesn't address CSS files.
