make() quick access

This will save some unneeded lines of code but keep readability. Though doesn't force anyone to use it.

👍 Good idea, i was looking for something similar yesterday

I remember seeing a pull request like this in one of the Illuminate components, and it was rejected, I think.

[zimt28]

Just proves that there are people who like this. We'll see

I can't help but notice you're saving like, six characters here. If it's the -> you find unclean you can do the same thing with  App::make which looks cleaner in the code.

[zimt28]

No it's not unclean. But app('path') just seems to be smarter and cleaner than app()->make('path)

Just an idea: For consistency when adding features, etc... it would be good for the contributor to directly add an associated (with a reference) pull request to the documentation. That would keep docs in sync with the code-base.
Thanks :)

[zimt28]

Good idea but there's actually no place for helpers on the docs. IoC doesn't include app() as well.

[frankmayer]

@zimt28 After a PR on the codebase has been merged, the contributor can do a pull request with the associated doc updates. That's the way to go, I think.
What's your take on this @taylorotwell ? I believe that this should maybe also be included in the contribution document, as a "would be much appreciated" task. :D

EDIT: Oh... now I got "no place for helpers" :D More coffee please!! Maybe Taylor can introduce something?
