Backbone.SoftModel

	/**
	Extend Backbone.SoftModel and then bind to the 'soft:change' event.
	It will only fire once given a sequence of rapid-fire changes.
	This avoids for example having multiple redundant renders,
	which can be a performance killer. That way you don't have to
	splatter your code with speculative {silent:true}s.
	Warning!
	This code is untested. This is just exploring an idea.
