###What is this? A small snippet that overrides _.template() to support calls to a gettext() function.

###Why? I made it so that it would be easy to use django's javascript translation catalog from inside an underscore microtemplate. It is probably useful elsewhere as well.

###How do I use it? Put strings you want translated inside a tag that <%t 'looks like this' %>.

###How does it work? It is really simple. It essentially transforms your tags to look like this: <%= gettext('hey there') %> and then passes the transformed text into the original _.template() function.
