Title: Fix Backbone does not respect special constructors that does not return "this".

When a constructor is not provided, inherits method creates a wrapper function which simply calls the parent constructor, without returning what it returns. On the contrary, JavaScript allows and honors non-this return values from constructors and this can actually be useful. This commit fixes that by adding a simple return statement inside the wrapper function.
