[Radiant] View helpers in extensions

[Kevin Ansfield]

I ran into a similar issue earlier (I'm porting the Mephisto asset manager
over to Radiant extensions) and would be very interested in an answer to the
same question.

Along the same lines, I'd also like to be able to extend the overall
application helper and application.rb from within an extension - is this
possible?

Thanks,
Kevin Ansfield
