How can we `.on('didInsertElement')` without prototype extensions? Same question applies for other uses of `.on(...)` in functions.

you can use `Ember.on('didInsertElement; , function () {} )`😄

in components, you can make a function with the name `didInsertElement` that achieves the same effect as `.on` although I prefer .`on` or the `Ember.on`
