I think that's just fine 😄

I created a pull request for this feature. I'm using it now and it appears to work.

Please get it in there and I'll write up more comprehensive documentation and I'll fix the obvious grammar mistake as well ;).

I'm using my enhancement in the following ways:

In this case I use waitForData to make something like a simple link just render immediately.

  subviews: {
    recordLink: {
      constructor: FileExternalLinkView,
      hook: 'record-link',
      waitForData: {
        model: 'file[0]'
      }
    }
  }

In this case I'm allowing a list view to render and then to have its collection rendered once the data is propagated through:

  subviews: {
    list: {
      constructor: SelectableListView,
      hook: 'list',
      data: {
        collection: 'list'
      }
    }
  }

The idea is to give me flexibility and to prevent unnecessary DOM hits. A simple link should be able to render in one go and what is the point if the data isn't ready?

@cdaringe I removed the unnecessary parameter and expanded the documentation. This is a very low impact change and I'd just like to get it in there and have it pushed to npm. I have some loose plans on expanding this but I'll need to be much farther along in my project to get into that. It will be in some months and there is nothing wrong with this change as a stand alone.

published as 9.0.1.

thanks @dschissler!
