Obtaining the value column key inside a cell renderer?

Question

Is it possible to obtain the column key inside a cell renderer?

For example in the `CustomRenderComponent Demo the value of the cell and the row data is injected like this:

@Input() value: string | number;
@Input() rowData: any;

is there a way to get the current column key? Something like:

@input column: string;

or get a Cell instance?

The Cell class has method like this:

getColumn(): Column {
  return this.column;
}

Look at custom-view.component.ts. It has a method getPatch() that returns a ViewCell. Change this method to return a Cell.

Now the custom renderer implementation will be patched with the entire Cell instance, rather than a few of the components belonging to it.

Create a new interface that this type of renderer should implement, rather than just having it implement the ViewCell interface.
