2 macros with the same name allowed?

[Rodney Schneider <ro...@actf.com.au>]

Hi all,

I have a really long macro called displayAllMessages which is used to 
display nicely formatted messages to the user of my web application. 
The macro takes two arguments; the messages to display and the color to 
display them...

#macro (displayAllMessages $data $color)
<snip>
#end

I want to make the default color red, so I have created another macro 
that calls the long macro...

#macro (displayAllMessages $data)
  #displayAllMessages($data, "red")
#end

However, when I call the macro from one of my templates like so...

#displayAllMessages($data, "black")

... I get the attached error messages from Velocity.

Am I allowed to have two macros with the same name call each other in 
Velocity?  BTW, I'm using Velocity 1.2.

Regards,

-- Rodney
