The helpers which export functions are quite easy to import and use inside another helper. I can do this:

`import { startCase } from '<project-name>/helpers/start-case'`;

But there are [some helpers](https://github.com/stefanpenner/ember-inflector/blob/master/app/helpers/pluralize.js) which are exported only as `Ember.Helper.helper`. Normally those helpers are exported as default, so I import them like this:

`import pluralize from '<project-name>/helpers/pluralize'`;

But I get `Object is not a function` error when I try to call `pluralize`. How can I call an imported `Ember.Helper.helper` object from inside another helper?
