By default have support for DocPad's standard template helpers

[balupton]

Right now to support DocPad's standard template helpers we have to define them manually inside our DocPad configuration file, this is a huge area of pain to a lot of new users so we should probably handle that ourselves.

I'd imagine it would be pretty easy, but right now my focus is on other things. @toabi would you be interested in implementing this by any chance?

Perhaps it's possible to use the same approach that the jade plugin uses here: https://github.com/docpad/docpad-plugin-jade/blob/master/src/jade.plugin.coffee#L28-L49

So this would allow DocPad to use Handlebar's registered helpers?

[balupton]

Nah, just allow handlebars to use docpad's template helpers.

What about just making available a text file that we can paste into into docpad.coffee. Not the cleanest solution but it should be implementable by someone who knows what they are doing (which is not me yet) easily enough.
