fetching individual models

[dominicglenn]

I came across a case where I wanted to fetch an individual model given a certain id, the quickest and easiest way I thought of doing this would be assigned a new model a given id and then fetching it from the server. I changed the code to allow for this:

I added the following in the url function for the extended Backbone.Model.prototype:

        if (this.get('id') !== undefined)
                return url + this.get('id') + '/';

I'm not sure if people have come across this kind of thing before and would be interested in knowing if it should be done in a different way perhaps?
