Macro names that start with the 'set' cause VTL parse errors

           Summary: Macro names that start with the 'set' cause VTL parse
                    errors
           Product: Velocity
           Version: 1.3.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Source
        AssignedTo: velocity-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jstillm@cbc-companies.com


The VTL parser does not differentiate between a macro name that starts with the
word 'set' and the '#set' directive.

Example:

#macro( setPageAttributes )
...
#end

Using #setPageAttributes() results in a Velocity parse error (as follows).

Encountered "PageAttributes" at line ..., column ....
Was expecting one of:
    "(" ...
    <WHITESPACE> ...
