// This is the render method in the `ItemView` in my Backbone.Marionette plugin.
// It's a giant method - far too much happening in this one method, and poor
// use of memory with all of the methods that get re-defined on every use.
//
// It desperately needs to be cleaned up. But I can't do something quite as
// simple as just move the inner functions on to the ItemView itself. There
// are too many methods on the ItemView already.
//
// Suggestions? What are some good patterns to clean this up?
