This looks really great! One thing really bothers me however: a dependency on all of Backbone. Pulling in a bunch a view-related code for an ORM has a certain code smell.<p>Is there any effort to modularize Backbone itself, so that Bookshelf can only depend on the model and collection pieces?
This is a port of Eloquent from Laravel [0], which is brilliant. I haven't used this, but if it's a faithful port it'll be awesome.<p>[0] <a href="https://twitter.com/laravelphp/status/333971780886728705" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/laravelphp/status/333971780886728705</a>
