[TYPO3-mvc] How to access typoscript properties in viewHelpers?

[Daniel Dimitrov]

Slowly I'm starting to be really confused with this. Can someone explain me 
why don't we have a factory method to load the settings?
something like
$mySettings = TFactory::getTypoScriptSettings(); ?
remembering all the methods to access the settings is annoying.
controller : $this->settings
viewHelper = $this->templateVariableContainer('get')
repository = ????
model = ????

It is the same with the request object
controller = $this->request
viewHelper = $this->controllerContext->getRequest

Kind Regards,
Daniel
