Angular 2 Template as a parameter to component

My simplified goal is to build a component which is a list with item template. E.g.:

<list>item</list>

Here is my code:

import {bootstrap} from 'angular2/platform/browser';
import {Component} from 'angular2/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'list',
  template: `
    <ul>
      <li *ngFor="let i of items" >
        <ng-content></ng-content>
      </li>
    </ul>
  `
})
class List {
  items = [1, 2, 3];
}

@Component({
  selector: 'app',
  directives: [List],
  template: '<list>item</list>'
})
class App { }

bootstrap(App, []);

Expected result:

• item
• item
• item

Actual result:

•
•
• item

I found 3 ways to do it

@Component({
   selector: 'dynamic-list',
   template: '<div *ngFor="#item of items" *ngForTemplate="itemTemplate"></div>'
})    
export class DynamicListComponent {

  @ContentChild(TemplateRef)
  public itemTemplate: TemplateRef;

  @Input()
  public items: number[];
}




<dynamic-list [items]="items">
  <div template="#item">
      Inline template item #: {{item}}
  </div>
</dynamic-list> 

output:

Inline template item #: 1
Inline template item #: 2
Inline template item #: 3
Inline template item #: 4
