helm: $ does not point to the root in named templates

Consider the following template

# templates/bla.yaml
{{- define "baseLabels" -}}
app.kubernetes.io/instance: {{ $.Release.Name }}
app.kubernetes.io/part-of: {{ .name }}
{{- end -}}

{{- with .Values }}
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: {{ .name }}
  labels:
    {{- include "baseLabels" . | nindent 4 }}
{{- end }}

that is templated with helm template release . --set name=foo.

I would expect $.Release.Name to be interpolated to release, and .name to be interpolated to foo. However, this yields the error:

Error: template: templates/bla.yaml:11:8: executing "templates/bla.yaml" at <include "baseLabels" .>: 
error calling include: template: templates/bla.yaml:2:32: executing "baseLabels" at <$.Release.Name>: nil pointer evaluating interface {}.Name

Specifically, even though, in the macro, I am using $.Release.Name to point to the root, this root is not the root that I was expecting it to be (the root of the project), but is instead the root of the named template (we can check this by removing the offending line and using $.name)

There are two questions here:

1. Isn’t this against the statement we make in the docs

   However, there is one variable that is always global - $ - this variable will always point to the root context. [...]

2. How do we define a named template that receives some scope (e.g. .name above) but also uses the root scope ($.Release.Name)?

Note that if we use {{- include "baseLabels" $ | nindent 4 }}, we lose the .name assigned by the with statement.
