Use helper and avoid component?

[rwjblue]

If we leverage normal Handlebars/HTMLBars we can do roughly the same as {{#with-service today, and avoid the cost of creating the component for each usage/invocation.

For example, with the following helper:

// app/helpers/service.js
import getOwner from 'ember-getowner-polyfill';

export default Ember.Helper.extend({
  compute([serviceName]) {
    let owner = getOwner(this);
    return owner.lookup(`service:${serviceName}`);
  }
})

You could do this in the template:

{{#with (service 'fooBarBaz') as |foo|}}
  {{! use foo here}}
{{/with}}

You could also do:

{{some-other-component derp=(service 'something')}}

This is really really close to what your API is here already, and it provides more capabilities...

I've thought about this and I think I even have it locally written up.

For backwards compat, I'd probably ship both the component and the helper, and start guiding people towards the helper.

I'm in class for the day, could you work up a PR?

Sure, I can take a crack at it this afternoon.
