pushState should be true by default when starting history about ampersand-router HOT 2 CLOSED

My only concern here is what happens on IE9 out of the box with pushState. Though, I must admit I don't know exactly how backbone.router + pushState: true actually works in IE9. I bet @lukekarrys does though.

In IE9, Backbone just makes all urls hostname.com/#path/to/page, but it still works when you do history.navigate('/path/to/page').

I've run into an issue in the past where I was using urls like /path/to/page?param=1&other=2 and trying to get the params through location.search which doesnt work because it gets translated to /#path/to/page?param=1&other=2 where there is no location.search. This was generally just a Bad Idea since Backbone doesnt even support query params.

So the only cases where I see this breaking is where devs are manually using location.search or location.hash. For my previous use case, I ended up using a query params plugin for Backbone. Maybe that's something we look in to making easier to do with the router?
