• extend
  • An alias of Backbone's extend.
• mergeOptions

• getOption
  • Retrieve an object's attribute either directly from the object, or from the object's this.options.
• triggerMethod
  • Trigger an event and a corresponding method on the target object.
• bindEvents
  • This method is used to bind a backbone "entity" to methods on a target object.
• unbindEvents
  • This method can be used to unbind callbacks from entities' events.
• normalizeMethods
  • Receives a hash of event names and functions and/or function names, and returns the same hash with the function names replaced with the function references themselves.
