[NFR] Allow view->partial to return instead of echo

[aleemb]

Currently I resort to ob_start() and ob_get_clean() but it's cumbersome. Would be nice to have a method getPartial() which returns the output as string instead of echo'ing it directly. I imagine quite a few designers would benefit from this. I have a genuine need myself so I can include my design components into smaller partials.

Hi there, idea really appreciated!
I'ld like the idea of partial always returning the contents instead of echoing.. one can easily add an echo before the partial and this will result in solving this issue as well.

maybe it is a bit hard to change this for 1.2.6 or 1.3.0 due to regression support, but at least having the possibility to return the contents instead would be very nice

@dreamsxin why your changes aren't present? Could you add PR into 1.3.3?

@mruz May be a rollback, I resubmitted.
