watch 'this' is window

[amcdnl]

When I do a watch, I often need to debounce the call, instead of having to define a function it would be nice to use this utility directly.

Problem is the this reference is window in this case:

watch: {
        '{object}report': this.debounce(this.SearchModel.findAll, 500, true)
    }

The debounce is a factory utility, code here: https://gist.github.com/amcdnl/9238250

Javascript will execute the function immediately with this syntax (it won't wait for the watch). This is probably not what you want to do. You will need to wrap it in a function, there is no way around this.

An interesting approach might be to allow string interpolation with 'mixins' like:

 '{object}report:debounce(500)': this.SearchModel.findAll

execute everything : and pass args in () to the fn
