Suggestion: automatically bind props default value functions to current vm

[OEvgeny]

Sometimes we need to set objects/arrays as default values of property in props. In these cases we need to specify a function that will return default value (docs link).

My suggestion is to automatically bind this kind of functions to current vm. So we can get access to vm context.

Now there are in global context:

props: {
  myProp: {
    type: Object,
    default: function () {
      console.log(this) // Window
      return {}
    }
  }
}

This is easy to implement, although I'm curious what particular use case do you have for it?

I came across this trying to migrate to 1.0. Since props are separated from data now, I can't implement logic that was in data function before. So, seems props default values are not so flexible as data for now.

In my case components can get some default values from local cache. Cache service is available in vm.

I see, thanks for the explanation!

Thanks a lot, Evan!
