  // `Sammy` (also aliased as $.sammy) is not only the namespace for a
  // number of prototypes, its also a top level method that allows for easy
  // creation/management of `Sammy.Application` instances. There are a
  // number of different forms for `Sammy()` but each returns an instance
  // of `Sammy.Application`. When a new instance is created using
  // `Sammy` it is added to an Object called `Sammy.apps`. This
  // provides for an easy way to get at existing Sammy applications. Only one
  // instance is allowed per `element_selector` so when calling
  // `Sammy('selector')` multiple times, the first time will create
  // the application and the following times will extend the application
  // already added to that selector.
  //
  // ### Example
  //
  //      // returns the app at #main or a new app
  //      Sammy('#main')

  // The DefaultLocationProxy is the default location proxy for all Sammy applications.
  // A location proxy is a prototype that conforms to a simple interface. The purpose
  // of a location proxy is to notify the Sammy.Application its bound to when the location
  // or 'external state' changes.
  //
  // The `DefaultLocationProxy` watches for changes to the path of the current window and
  // is also able to set the path based on changes in the application. It does this by
  // using different methods depending on what is available in the current browser. In
  // the latest and greatest browsers it used the HTML5 History API and the `pushState`
  // `popState` events/methods. This allows you to use Sammy to serve a site behind normal
  // URI paths as opposed to the older default of hash (#) based routing. Because the server
  // can interpret the changed path on a refresh or re-entry, though, it requires additional
  // support on the server side. If you'd like to force disable HTML5 history support, please
  // use the `disable_push_state` setting on `Sammy.Application`. If pushState support
  // is enabled, `DefaultLocationProxy` also binds to all links on the page. If a link is clicked
  // that matches the current set of routes, the URL is changed using pushState instead of
  // fully setting the location and the app is notified of the change.
  //
  // If the browser does not have support for HTML5 History, `DefaultLocationProxy` automatically
  // falls back to the older hash based routing. The newest browsers (IE, Safari > 4, FF >= 3.6)
  // support a 'onhashchange' DOM event, thats fired whenever the location.hash changes.
  // In this situation the DefaultLocationProxy just binds to this event and delegates it to
  // the application. In the case of older browsers a poller is set up to track changes to the
  // hash.

    //
    // This method also has aliases for each of the different verbs (eg. `get()`, `post()`, etc.)

    // * `verb` A String in the set of ROUTE_VERBS or 'any'. 'any' will add routes for each
    //    of the ROUTE_VERBS. If only two arguments are passed,
    //    the first argument is the path, the second is the callback and the verb
    //    is assumed to be 'any'.
    // * `path` A Regexp or a String representing the path to match to invoke this verb.
    // * `callback` A Function that is called/evaluated when the route is run see: `runRoute()`.
    //    It is also possible to pass a string as the callback, which is looked up as the name
    //    of a method on the application.

    //
    // You can also provide a set of options that will define when to run this

    //
    // ### Example
    //

    // Adds an around filter to the application. around filters are functions
    // that take a single argument `callback` which is the entire route
    // execution path wrapped up in a closure. This means you can decide whether
    // or not to proceed with execution by not invoking `callback` or,
    // more usefully wrapping callback inside the result of an asynchronous execution.
    //
    // ### Example
    //
    // The most common use case for around() is calling a _possibly_ async function
    // and executing the route within the functions callback:
    //
    //      var app = $.sammy(function() {
    //
    //        var current_user = false;
    //
    //        function checkLoggedIn(callback) {
    //          // /session returns a JSON representation of the logged in user
    //          // or an empty object
    //          if (!current_user) {
    //            $.getJSON('/session', function(json) {
    //              if (json.login) {
    //                // show the user as logged in
    //                current_user = json;
    //                // execute the route path
    //                callback();
    //              } else {
    //                // show the user as not logged in
    //                current_user = false;
    //                // the context of aroundFilters is an EventContext
    //                this.redirect('#/login');
    //              }
    //            });
    //          } else {
    //            // execute the route path
    //            callback();
    //          }
    //        };
    //
    //        this.around(checkLoggedIn);
    //

    //
    around: function(callback) {
      this.arounds.push(callback);
      return this;
    },

    // Adds a onComplete function to the application. onComplete functions are executed
    // at the end of a chain of route callbacks, if they call next(). Unlike after,
    // which is called as soon as the route is complete, onComplete is like a final next()
    // for all routes, and is thus run asynchronously
    //
    // ### Example
    //
    //      app.get('/chain',function(context,next) {
    //          console.log('chain1');
    //          next();
    //      },function(context,next) {
    //          console.log('chain2');
    //          next();
    //      });
    //
    //      app.get('/link',function(context,next) {
    //          console.log('link1');
    //          next();
    //      },function(context,next) {
    //          console.log('link2');
    //          next();
    //      });
    //
    //      app.onComplete(function() {
    //          console.log("Running finally");
    //      });
    //
    // If you go to '/chain', you will get the following messages:
    //
    //      chain1
    //      chain2
    //      Running onComplete
    //
    //
    // If you go to /link, you will get the following messages:
    //
    //      link1
    //      link2
    //      Running onComplete
    //
    //
    // It really comes to play when doing asynchronous:
    //
    //      app.get('/chain',function(context,next) {
    //        $.get('/my/url',function() {
    //          console.log('chain1');
    //          next();
    //        });
    //      },function(context,next) {
    //        console.log('chain2');
    //        next();
    //      });
    //
    onComplete: function(callback) {
      this._onComplete = callback;

    // Helpers extends the EventContext prototype specific to this app.
    // This allows you to define app specific helper functions that can be used

    //
    // ### Example
    //
    //     var app = $.sammy(function() {
    //
    //       helpers({
    //         upcase: function(text) {

    //         // inside of this context I can use the helpers
    //         $('#main').html(upcase($('#main').text());
    //       }});
    //
    //     });
    //
    //
    // ### Arguments
    //
    // * `extensions` An object collection of functions to extend the context.
    //
    helpers: function(extensions) {
      $.extend(this.context_prototype.prototype, extensions);
      return this;
    },

    // Helper extends the event context just like `helpers()` but does it
    // a single method at a time. This is especially useful for dynamically named
    // helpers
    //
    // ### Example
    //
    //     // Trivial example that adds 3 helper methods to the context dynamically
    //     var app = $.sammy(function(app) {
    //
    //       $.each([1,2,3], function(i, num) {
    //         app.helper('helper' + num, function() {
    //           this.log("I'm helper number " + num);
    //         });
    //       });
    //
    //       this.get('#/', function() {
    //         this.helper2(); //=> I'm helper number 2
    //       });
    //     });
    //
    // ### Arguments
    //
    // * `name` The name of the method
    // * `method` The function to be added to the prototype at `name`
    //
    helper: function(name, method) {
      this.context_prototype.prototype[name] = method;
      return this;
    },

    // Actually starts the application's lifecycle. `run()` should be invoked

  //
  // `RenderContext` methods always returns a modified `RenderContext`
  // for chaining (like jQuery itself).
  //
  // The core magic is in the `then()` method which puts the callback passed as
  // an argument into a queue to be executed once the previous callback is complete.
  // All the methods of `RenderContext` are wrapped in `then()` which allows you
  // to queue up methods by chaining, but maintaining a guaranteed execution order
  // even with remote calls to fetch templates.

    // complete. If there is no currently executing operation, the `callback`

    //
    // The value returned from the callback is stored in `content` for the
    // subsequent operation. If you return `false`, the queue will pause, and
