Using createActions with sync and async results

[w33ble]

Currently, the createActions method doesn't handle mixing up sync and async actions well. For example, it's very nice when I have all sync actions, like so:

var actions = Reflux.createActions([ 
  'persist',
  'get',
  'update',
  'someAction',
  'anotherAction' 
])

However, as soon as I want to add an async action, this has to become an object, a bunch of the values of which are just empty objects themselves.

var actions = Reflux.createActions({
  'persist': {},
  'get': {},
  'update': {},
  'someAction': {},
  'anotherAction': {},
  'newAsyncAction': { asyncResult: true }
})

Ideally, I'd like to be able to do something like this instead:

var actions = Reflux.createActions([
  'persist',
  'get',
  'update',
  'someAction',
  'anotherAction',
  { 'newAsyncAction': {  asyncResult: true } }
])

Again, like I mentioned in #205, maybe I'm just using this wrong - if I am, please let me know the preferred way to set this up

+1, would be quite useful.

var createActions = function() {
  return Reflux.createActions(_.reduce(arguments, function(h, v) {
    return _.isString(v) ? h[v] = {} : _.extend(h, v);
  }, {}));
};


var actions = createActions(
  'persist',
  'get',
  'update',
  'someAction',
  'anotherAction',
  { 'newAsyncAction': {  asyncResult: true } }
)

This seems to work. Must have been implemented but not closed.
