// IMPORTANT: When adding a new handlebars helper, update the
// knownHelpers array in the webpack config so that webpack knows your
// helper is registered at runtime and don't try to require them when
// bundling.

// We don't want to wait for DOM ready to register the Handlebars helpers
// below. There's no need to, as they do not access the DOM.
// Furthermore, waiting for DOM ready would introduce race conditions with
// other DOM-ready callbacks that attempt to render templates.
