The homepage on git for handlebars.js (https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js) talks about a function called __get__ under the Block Helpers section that can be used to retrieve path variables within the current context. But it is not available within any helpers context/this. Was it removed? Is there another way to retrieve path data from inside a helper? In particular, a way to go up the ladder and retrieve parent data via the ../ path?

There is a 6 month old open issue with no discussion about it here:
https://github.com/donpark/hbs/issues/18

edit: This issue is not posted on handlebars project, but an extension which recognizes the same problem.
