title: Calling a method from inside a view without using "this" keyword?
body: <p>My backbone code seems to have a crazy number of <code>this.methodCall()</code> type of invocations and I'd love to be able to drop the <code>this</code>, and just call <code>methodCall()</code> directly from inside the View. </p>
  
  <p>See the below code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>app.Main = Backbone.View.extend({
  
      el: '#main-div',
  
      // how do I call this function without invoking "this"?
      setPageCookies: function () {
          console.log('setting page cookies called!');
      },
  
      initialize: function () {
          // saw this online as a possible solution, but only seems to affect the scope of "this" 
          _.bindAll(this, 'setPageCookies');
  
          // this works:
          this.setPageCookies();
  
         // HOWEVER, I'd like to be able to call it like this instead:
         setPageCookies();
  
      }
  
  });
  </code></pre>
