Comment (by dtbaker):

 Just a note:  this `replaceState` call on every page has a nice side
 effect. It prevents the browser re-submitting POST data on refresh/back
 button, which is really quite cool (especially dealing with poorly written
 plugins that do not redirect after submitting a form).

 It took me so long to figure out why I could refresh after a `POST` and
 the browser would do a `GET` without prompting to resubmit post data. This
 only happened with JS enabled.

 Shweet!
