 Replying to [comment:67 MikeSchinkel]:
 > Rather than dismissing `Backbone.Events` you might want to consider
 extending them as
 [https://github.com/marionettejs/backbone.wreqr/blob/master/readme.md
 Backbone.Wreqr] does. It would not be too difficult to add `priority` and
 `did_action()` on top of `Backbone.Events`, and it's even possible
 [https://github.com/jashkenas/backbone/wiki/Extensions,-Plugins,-Resources
 someone else has already written most (all?)] of the needed extensions.

 Just to clarify, I'm not dismissing it rather just saying that it becomes
 cumbersome. It's a bigger decision to extend Backbone because we then need
 to include Backbone & underscore everywhere in core (frontend & backend)
 to make this events implementation available. If that's the route people
 are leaning to, that's fine with me.

 You can easily extend `Backbone.Events` when it's enqueued, to provide
 Backbone.Events the additional functionality this library would offer.
 Curious to hear thoughts from nacin and azaozz about this.
