$modal.open() does not support controllerAs option

[zandroid]

Angular supports the option "controllerAs" for directives. I would like to see it for $modal.open() also. Please, look at a sample plunker.

@zandroid it is supported already but using the syntax used by the the ngController directive:

this.modal2 = function() {
    $modal.open({
      controller: 'modalController2 as modal',
      templateUrl: 'modal2.html'
    });
  };

@pkozlowski-opensource, Thanks.
I no need the following case, FYI only, but it does not work if a controller was defined as inline function, look at http://plnkr.co/edit/q6RwZP?p=preview

$modal.open({
    controller: function() { ... },
    controllerAs: 'modal',
    templateUrl: 'modal.html'
});

@zandroid I see. Since it is very easy to support both forms of syntax I've just pushed a commit 8d7c2a2 where it is possible to do what you were asking for. I hope It won't cause too much confusion for our users to have 2 different ways of doing the same thing....

It works when a controller is defined by string. But I'm not sure that it works for inline function (I'm think it does not). Please look at my message above, I was defined controller as inline function, not a string. You can use the plunker sample for test writing.
