Ember.View uses layout for {{yield}} helpers

[guilhermeaiolfi]

Since 0.9.6 ember introduced the property "layout" to be used together with the {{yield}} helper.

It will conflict with Flame.View layout hash.

Maybe left/right/top/bottom could be set directly into Flame.View:

Flame.View.create({
    width: 100,
    height: 200
});

I'm not too sure if we want to change layout property in Flame, can you give an example of how you want to use it?
I also don't think it causes any conflicts if you're not using yield?

Yes, if I don't use the yield helper that won't cause any conflict. But I would like to be able to use it if I want to.

The concept is very interesting and could be used for themes in the future.

How I would like to use it?

Flame.View.create({
    width: 100,
    height: 200,
    top: 10,
    left: 50,
    layout: Ember.Handlebars.compile('<div class="decorator">{{yield}}</div>'),
    template: Ember.Handlebars.compile('{{content.something}}'),
    ...
});

That would create:

<div class="decorator">
      Value of content.something
</div>

It could be something much more complex other than just a div for decorator, of course. This example could be achieved with a simple classNames: [ 'decorator' ], but hopefully you get my point.
