Hiccdown methods should live in their own, separate modules. How about they are called ‘renderers’?

ruby
module ProductsRenderer

  def self.index vc, # …

    vc.some_helper_method

  end

end

Then how would you call index from a helper method?

I don’t think that’s something people would do a lot, but they still easily could: ProductsRenderer.index(self)

Tested, it works. self does indeed point to the view_context in the helper. Verified by printing object_ids.

Not as of #330, they couldn’t.

It doesn’t really matter. This would be like calling a controller action from a helper method. Not something people do.
