App Sub Applications

[samccone]

Application objects should be able to have "sub" applications that are started and destroyed on parent app state change.

Mn.Application.extend({
  applications: {
    "myApp1": {
      class: MyApp1
      options: {}
    },
    "myApp2": MyApp2,
    "myApp3": {
      getClass: function(){},
      getOptions: {}
    }
  }
})

Each application has a name to make it simple to interact with it from within the parent app.

Ooh pretty This reminds me of a pattern wires has w/ modules, just much nicer. Curious to see how this plays with routes and things.

I can live with a removal of Mn.Module with this sub app feature :)

Modules gone.

While I dunno that this needs to be a part of Mn, I dunno how it related to modules?

I thought you needed Modules to have SubApps
Can re-open

I think this is suggesting using Applications or some new object as sub apps. unrelated to modules... kind of like #2026 which suggests removing modules and adding subapps. Either way I think it safe to close both of these for now. Hopefully, for the moment at least, we can focus more on doing less better, rather than adding stuff.
