Title: Backbone.History to trigger 'load' event when loadUrl call happens

I am looking to make Views in my application rely on current state of URL and having 'load' event for Backbone.History will complement Backbone.History.getFragment() function.

I also see this very minimal change to allow building more flexible routers which might allow matching several different route-regexps to allow reusing smaller actions. I.e. for example if both routes /app/route1 and /app/route2 need to call function prepareApp(), this function could be added as a listener to 'load' event.
