Note Spark usage in documentation #48

So we have a project that uses Caffeinated Modules and Themes (great stuff!) with Laravel Spark. I ran into an issue with this package combination that I thought was worth sharing with you.

According to the Themes documentation we put in the controller something like:

Theme::setLayout('layouts.master');
...
return Theme::view('route', $data);

In the blade we put this:

@extends($theme_layout)

But, in Spark we don't have access to all controllers (at least not without getting really under the hood). But this was easy to resolve by putting the Theme::setLayout line into our AppServiceProvider.php's boot method, and instead of using $theme_layout I use this in my blades: 

@extends(\Theme::getLayout())

With this all appears to work as expected. Might be worth updating the docs?
