Not exactly what you have asked, but the spirit of the code is the same and it is more coffeescriptish :

do (document) ->
   # whatever

which compiles to

(function(document) {})(document);

((doc) ->
)(document)

will generate

(function(doc) {})(document);

If you're asking in the context of wrapping something in a closure - for instance a JQuery plugin - this will not be needed. See this question

I'm deleting my response since it's the same. We answered at exactly the same time.

One thing I did add: "You don't generally need to do this since your CoffeeScript is enclosed in a similar anonymous function by default."

do (doc=document) ->
