Improve helper integration so templates don't need raw about twig-view

[ADmad]

@dereuromark Both alternatives I showed will work for all helpers methods, of core as well as app/plugins. User land code won't need anything special.

[ADmad]

Would syntax like this be acceptable?

{{ helper_Html_link('View this thig', "https://example.com/") }}

[othercorey]

I think we would need a single 'helper' function that wraps everything. I can't imagine generating them for everything.

[ADmad]

All Cake helper functions calls can be handled by a single TwigFunction.

[othercorey]

Right, that's what I was saying. We agree?

[ADmad]

Yes.

We need to decided if we prefer usage like the one I showed above or like:

{{ helper('Html.link', 'View this thig', "https://example.com/") }}

[dereuromark]

The helper('Html.link' syntax would have the advantage to auto work with newly added methods right?
Lets say the core adds a new foo() method, would that auto-work here then as helper('Html.foo', ...) ?
Or does the plugin/extensions need adjustment for all new ones always?

[ADmad]

The helper_Html_link type naming would use pattern helper_* with the help of dynamic helper feature.

Though I am not sure if using twig functions will work if the Cake helper has for e.g. call to View::element().

[othercorey]

We would need to parse the helper name with either implementation, correct?
