When compile(), you can use the compile option helpers to provide custom helpers. NOTICE: FLAG_NAMEDARG is required for named arguments, FLAG_ADVARNAME is required for string or subexpression arguments

// Template: {{my_helper_functoin ....}}
'my_helper_function',
// 2. You may also provide a static call from a class
// In this case, the helper name is same with provided full name
// Template: {{myClass::myStaticMethod ....}}

// This help you to mapping different function to a preferred helper name
// Template: {{helper_name ....}}
'helper_name' => 'my_other_helper',
// 4. Alias also works well for static call of a class
// This help you to mapping different function to a preferred helper name
// Template: {{helper_name2 ....}}

// 5. Anonymous function should be provided with alias
// The function will be included in generaed code always
