Add a .findOrBuild() method to Backbone Models
// keep models fetched in different views in sync
// Finding and creating models
// ===========================
//
// We might need to get a reference to a model from anywhere in our code
// and we want to make sure that these references all point to the same model.
// Otherwise updates to one copy of the model won't affect another.
//
// The methods here let you get models through a wrapper that will either
// create the model if it doesn't exist anywhere, or return a reference to

3.0.x monkeypatch for fixing Invalid Char 500s
# Fix for a Rails - Ruby 1.9 bug
# Rails Router, now that it's UTF-8 default, blows up when routing requests
# with invalid chars in the URL; it should properly return a 400 error
# Have to monkey-patch the fix in, since it's not scheduled for release until
# Rails 4.0.
# Adapted Andrew White (pixeltrix)'s fix at
# https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/3fc561a1f71edf1c2bae695cafa03909d24a5ca3,
# but edited to work in 3.0.x.
# 3.1.x, 3.2.x compatibility unknown
