I'm not sure why there's so much significance attached to `render()` considering that it's a no-op in Backbone, and you've got an entire class to work with. Trying to figure out how to cram everything into one function while still getting desired behaviour doesn't seem like the best way to go. That being said, there are probably better ways to do it that don't involve Backbone, too.
