[ckan-dev] ITemplateHelpers

Ok,

This in now in master

class ITemplateHelpers(Interface):
    """
    Allow adding extra template functions available via h variable
    """
    def get_helpers(self):
        """
        Should return a dict, the keys being the name of the helper
        function and the values being the functions themselves.
        """

It seems that these functions will end up in lib/helpers.py after all.  In
the current implementation you can override existing helpers but not
override other plugin created helpers.
