Calling helpers inside helpers

[harikt]

 // May be in the Aura/Html/HelperLocator
public function __call($name, $args)
{
    $helper = $this->get($name);
    $helper->setLocator($this);
    return call_user_func_array(
        $helper,
        $args
    );
}

and in the Aura\Html\Helper\AbstractHelper , we add the __call method which calls the helper locator?

Do you think that is ok to go?

In theory, what you would want to do is inject the helper you need into the helper that needs it, and not (in general) the locator for all helpers. There are exceptions, such as with the input helper, but even then it gets a locator specific to its own needs, not the all-purpose locator.
