Re aurelia/router#379
Commenting here because that issue was closed, but it would be a wishlist item for a backport...

Similar to how globalResources lets you pass the constructor for a resource now instead of the module path,

It would be great if you could pass an async function to the route config that resolves to the viewmodel constructor (ie container key?) to use for the route.

We are trying to avoid things breaking due to moved or renamed modules, and this is one of the last areas in our app where a string is still required.

Being able to pass a function that returns (await import("module-path")).ViewModelX would allow the build to catch errors (or the IDE to do the refactoring).

That's a wonderful idea, thank you for the note.
