Opening an MdDialog with a TemplateRef that uses `md-dialog-close` throws "no provider for MdDialogRef"

[alex321]

Proposal:

Provide MdDialogRef even when we pass a TemplateRef.

What is the current behaviour?

With the current setup if we pass a TemplateRef to MdDialog, there is no way to use md-dialog-close directive as it throws no provider for MdDialogRef as it requires it.

What is the expected behaviour?

It would be great if it works with a TemplateRef but if that's not possible, then could you please add a brief warning to the docs?

What are the steps to reproduce?

I can provide a plunkr if needed.

This is a known issue. It's because we can't set a custom injector on a template ref (since it's already instantiated). I've discussed a potential solution with @jelbourn, but haven't gotten around to implementing it yet.
