.inject() in template with {{each}} is ignored

[cyppher]

Issue

When calling transformWith with a template that loops over items (with {{#each items}}) the injected function is ignored and outputted as String.

The issue occurs with this (partial) code:
data:

{ "items": [
{ ..., "status": "confirmed" },
...
] }

template:
"{{#each items}}": { "status": "{{_.upperCase(this.status)}}", }

ST code

...
const _ = require('lodash');

return ST.select(embeddedArray)
    .inject({_:_})
    .transformWith(template)
    .root();
...

result
"status": "_.upperCase(this.status)"

Expected result

"status": "CONFIRMED"

When I look into test code, I only see a simple test case, this generic case is not covered.
Can you please take a look into this issue / point me in the right direction for a fix / pull request?

Thanks!

bump the lack of injectable code within an each block is really getting in the way for me. Let's have a chat on how to resolve this.

@smtrd3 not that I'm aware of.

I noticed that all the injected objects can be accessed as something like "{{ $root.moment() }}" even from inside #each block. Don't know whether it is correct approach or not.
