Access to full google.maps object

Hi, loving your work so far, but am curious, will this library ever grant access to the full google.maps object, similar to angular1’s implementation of google-maps? (see here: http://angular-ui.github.io/angular-google-maps/#!/api/GoogleMapApi)

Getting the google.maps object lets you create, for example…

A1 code to create new DirectionsRenderer and DirectionsService:

            uiGmapGoogleMapApi.then(function(maps) {
                vm.gmaps = maps;
                vm.map.directionsDisplay = new vm.gmaps.DirectionsRenderer();
                vm.map.directionsService = new vm.gmaps.DirectionsService();
            });

Or to create a new LatLng object:

var latlng = new vm.gmaps.LatLng(lat, lng);

Is this going to be possible with this library?

EDIT: I do see that the google object is available globally… so we can do var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat,lng); However, isn’t it one goals of the project to prevent the google object from polluting the global namespace?

EDIT to EDIT: Also see now we can use LatLngLiteral interface, so that deals with one problem:

import {LatLngLiteral} from 'angular2-google-maps/core';

...

var latlng = <LatLngLiteral>{lat: this.latitude, lng: this.longitude};
this.map.setCenter(latlng);

If I’m understanding everything here correctly, wouldn’t the most angular way of handling this be to have a service that returns the global object? This would enable mocking for testing and avoid global dependencies.
