How do I manually resolve a type using the ASP.NET Core MVC built-in dependency injection framework?

Setting up the container is easy enough:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    // ...

    services.AddTransient<ISomeService, SomeConcreteService>();
}

But how can I resolve ISomeService without performing injection? For example, I want to do this:

ISomeService service = services.Resolve<ISomeService>();

There are no such methods in IServiceCollection.
