/**
 * Inspired by AngularJS' implementation of "click dblclick mousedown..." 
 *
 * This ties in the Hammer events to attributes like:
 * 
 *   hm-tap="add_something()"
 *   hm-swipe="remove_something()"
 *
 * and also has support for Hammer options with:
 *
 *  hm-tap-opts="{hold: false}"
 *
 * or any other of the "hm-event" listed underneath.
