Mustache: only the current context is passed to partials, instead of the full stack.

It makes template organization a hassle, since I can't just take a subsection out of template and move it into a partial if it's calling anything up the stack.

I believe this is because when partials are called in can/view/mustache, the value of CONTEXT_STACK.pop() is sent as the object to render. Would it be feasible to send in all of the stack?

I think this behaviour is according to the Mustache spec (Partials section) isn't it?

I think the trick that Handlebars did was not to allow referencing anything up the stack unless you use backtracking paths. Support for backtracking has been filed in #163. I am not sure if Handlebars can backtrack up the stack in a partial though.

The spec doesn't seem to cover context nesting; it just says that a partial inherits the current context, but it also says the same for a section (which, in CanJS's Mustache, does inherit the stack).

I think this makes sense if easy to implement.

There is a lot that is specced in the Mustache spec definition files that isn't listed on their site: https://github.com/mustache/spec

Sections are specced to pass contexts, but partials aren't.

Regardless, good idea so I added support. :)
