+Ultra lightweight & seamless Backbone.sync override to work with promises.

+Just include the script after backbone. And you'll be able to do :
+
+‘‘‘javascript
+var myModel = new Backbone.Model();
+myModel.url = "https://my.balling-api.com/whatever";
+
+myModel.fetch().then(function(data){
+  console.log(data);
+  // data is RAW json
+  // however, classic "callback" is still called seamlessly so:
+  // data.attribute == myModel.get('attribute')
+},
+function(response){

+});
