Hey,

When using {{partial}} I can use a bound attribute for the partial name, but not with render. It seems it would be useful.

Do you guys know why there is such a difference? I tried to create a bound-render helper that would just call the renderHelper directly, but I get into weird redrawing issues.

Thanks, Julien.

Bound `{{render}}` is very difficult. I took a stab at this shortly after the `{{partial}}` helper became bound (you can see my progress [here](https://github.com/rwjblue/ember.js/compare/dynamic_render)), but quickly ran into crazy edge cases due to the fact that `{{render}}` does significantly more things than `{{partial}}`.
