Incorrect parsing of String objects about backbone-documentmodel

[icereval]

Reviewing this issue it appears that Backbone.Model is actually converting the properties of the String object into its Model object. The reason Backbone.Model works in the first case is because it does not touch any nested objects/arrays thus the nested object's structure is maintained.

Document Model on the other hand converts all nested objects/arrays to their respective Backbone Model/Collection in order to track changes and event hierarchy.

I do agree this is not optimal and I'll continue looking into a proper solution.

Thanks for the example.

var model = new Backbone.Model(new String('abcd'))

model.toJSON()
Object {0: "a", 1: "b", 2: "c", 3: "d"}

model
Backbone.Model {cid: "c5", attributes: Object, _changing: false, _previousAttributes: Object, changed: Object…}
    _changing: false
    _pending: false
    _previousAttributes: Object
    attributes: Object
        0: "a"
        1: "b"
        2: "c"
        3: "d"
    __proto__: Object
    changed: Object
    cid: "c5"
    __proto__: Object
