Overriding Backbone.Collection.prototype.add
===

Is it possible to override the collection.add method globally in backbone like so:

    Backbone.Collection.prototype._add = Backbone.Collection.prototype.add;
    Backbone.Collection.prototype.add = function(models, options) {
        var = newModels = models.items;
        Backbone.Collection.prototype._add(newModels, options);
    }

The api I'm using ALWAYS contains the actual models one level down for collections. Under `items` and I find myself overriding the `.add` method for all collections. I tried what I have above but it didn't seem to work. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Luis
