Minor Description
The problem:
The only way to access an item instance from inside list-editable transclusion slots is via $parent.item. This approach is both cumbersome and prone to $scope-related issues (i.e. input elements can't access it if there are intermidate scopes).
What to do:
Provide an easy and reliable way to access item (maybe as $item?) variable. It would also be handy to be able to change item alias name (useful for nested list-editable's).
