MdDialog scroll in another context

feature request, proposal:

I dont want to scroll the md-dialog-content but the whole dialog so the scrollbar is outside of the dialog.

What is the expected behavior?

Scroll the entire dialog and not only the md-dialog-content. I created a small example with the expected behaviour. You can find it here on codepen.

What is the current behavior?

md-dialog-content is scrolled inside the dialog.

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

The developer should have to decide how the dialog is scrolled to match it with a specific use case.

Is there anything else we should know?

I’ve read in the changelog that there is a new ScrollStrategy API to affect the scrolling of overlays but I cannot find any documentation and the MdDialogConfig does not support the scrollStrategy option.

So it is possible to change the scrolling behaviour for the dialog at the current version? If so then how?

@julianobrasil scrolling whole dialog is not what material design says:

For scrollable lists of options, the dialog title remains pinned to the top. This ensures that a selected item remains visible with the title, regardless of the item’s position in the list. Otherwise, the title scrolls off with the content. Actions always remain in place when content scrolls. Dialogs are separate from the underlying parent material and do not scroll with it. (source)
