/**
 * Taken from http://paste.laravel.com/b8n
 * and added a datum attr to submit data along with the RESTful request
 * 
 * Restfulize any hiperlink that contains a data-method attribute by
 * creating a mini form with the specified method and adding a trigger
 * within the link.
 * Requires jQuery!
 *
 * Ex in Laravel:
 *     <a href="users" data-method="delete" data-datum="2">destroy</a>
 *     // Will trigger the route Route::delete('users')
 *
