For instance, is there a way to nest my "i18n" helper inside another helper's hash variable? 

{{view "SearchView" placeholder="{{t 'search.root'}}" ref="search" url="/pages/search" className='home-search'  polyfill=true}}

Update: Handlebars now supports subexpressions, so you can just do:

{{view "SearchView" (t 'search.root')}}
