by.exactRepeater with one-time data binding

[alecxe]

Can we make by.exactRepeater() match repeaters with one time data-binding:

ng-repeat="gridColumn in ::panelGrid.columnDefs"

In this case would be good to have element.all(by.repeater("gridColumn in panelGrid.columnDefs")) locate the repeater.

Also, by.exactBinding() may have a similar issue (haven't checked).

Thanks.

I don't think we should get into the business of syntax parsing for Angular, as it'll be a maintainability nightmare. Is there a reason why this is useful? (i.e. instead of element.all(by.repeater("gridColumn in ::panelGrid.columnDefs"))

Agree with @hankduan here - closing for now.
