In Symfony 2.8/3.0, with our fancy new security components, how do I get the currently logged User (i.e. FOSUser) object in a service without injecting the whole container?

Is it even possible in a non-hacky way?

PS: Let's not consider the "pass it to the service function as a parameter" for being trivially obvious. Also, dirty.

Inject security.token_storage service into your service, and then use:

$this->token_storage->getToken()->getUser();

as described here: http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/security.html#retrieving-the-user-object and here: http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/service_container.html#referencing-injecting-services
