 * Whisper.View
 *
 * This is the base for most of our views. The Backbone view is extended
 * with some conveniences:
 *
 * 1. Pre-parses all our mustache templates for performance.
 * https://github.com/janl/mustache.js#pre-parsing-and-caching-templates
 *
 * 2. Defines a default definition for render() which allows sub-classes
 * to simply specify a templateName and renderAttributes which are plugged
 * into Mustache.render
 *
 * 3. Makes all the templates available for rendering as partials.
 * https://github.com/janl/mustache.js#partials
 *
 * 4. Provides some common functionality, e.g. confirmation dialog
 *
