@iobaixas - Is there a way to disableRenaming at a global / provider level?

Ups, didn't see that last question, about that, I just realised that the README is missing provider usage directions, you can set a base model in the config stage like this:

module.config(function($restmodProvider) {
  $restmodProvider.pushModelBase(function() { // Dont really like the name for this method, any thoughs?
    this.disableRenaming():
  });
});

About the new implementation, I will miss the local storage support... Why aren't you caching single $fetch results?

To return results from $search when doing a $find with an id $search returned you could do something like

this.on('after-fetch-many', function(xhr){
  cache[this.$url()] = this;
  angular.forEach(this, function(record) {
    cache[record.$url()] = record;
  });
});

@kenborge - Ya I thought about something like that. Managing the list(s) and singles together gets tricky.
