title: Angular2: How to override components template?
body: <p>I am considering migrating an angular 1.4 application to angular 2 and I wonder if it will be possible to override components' template like we do in angular1 using $provide.decorator (like <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17660947/can-you-override-specific-templates-in-angularui-bootstrap#answer-26339919">Can you override specific templates in AngularUI Bootstrap?</a>). </p>
  
  <p>I am looking for something like <em><code>TestComponentBuilder.overrideTemplate</code></em> but for a non-testing scenario. Does Angular2 comes with something similar?</p>
