Declaring factory providers should be as easy as declaring class providers

[ewinslow]

It would be awesome if instead of this:

  providers: [
    provide(Model, {
      deps: [Service],
      useFactory: (service :Service) :Model => service.getModel(...args),
    }),
  ],

I could just write this:

  providers: [
    (service :Service) :Model => service.getModel(...args),
  ],

Not sure how feasible it is (given the decorators spec doesn't allow for decorating plain functions IIRC), but figured I'd let my preference be known...

This is indeed nicer, unfortunately we can't emit metadata on functions. We lack typescript support here.

Support for this can be added to Webpack as a plugin or a transform (think ng-annotate) until there is TypeScript support
