<p dir="auto">I am very sorry for making dupl of <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load title" data-id="91396291" data-permission-text="Title is private" data-url="https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/2753" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/angular/angular/issues/2753/hovercard" href="https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/2753">#2753</a>. But after closing this issue on 2 Jul 2015, there are a lot of compelling arguments from community for allowing this feature.</p>
<p dir="auto">I read <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34421869/templatecache-in-angular-2" rel="nofollow">this article</a> with statement: <em>It is no longer possible to implement ng-include...</em>.<br>
I only want to make sure that:</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>angular team is really not interested in supporting any "html template as data or as parameter" scenario (for incoming angular2 release candidate)</li>
<li>there cannot be provided any official workaround, avoiding to have single angular2 component for every product in catalogue, for every web page, for every eLearning exercise etc.?</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Because the Formbuilder controls collection is typed as an AbstractControl and AbstractControl does not have an updateValue method, it requires a cast to a Control which does have an updateValue method. Only Control has an updateValue method.</p>
<p dir="auto">Preferred and shorter which is better:<br>
this.myForm.controls['goal_weight'].updateValue("5");</p>
<p dir="auto">With the cast as required by Angular2 currently:<br>
( this.myForm.controls['goal_weight']).updateValue("5");<br>
(this.myForm.controls['goal_weight'] as Control).updateValue("5");</p>
<p dir="auto">Could you consider using types that would not require a cast here to update the value?<br>
Perhaps by making the the controls collection contain actually the Controls class items rather than AbstractControl items?<br>
Or perhaps you could move the updateValue method into the AbstractControl class?</p>
<p dir="auto">Example Template using myForm:</p>

    <div dir="auto">
      Weight Goal
      </div>
