velocity should have a "clearAllReferences"

           Summary: velocity should have a "clearAllReferences"
           Product: Velocity
           Version: 1.3-rc1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: Other
         Component: Source
        AssignedTo: velocity-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: wkwing@hotmail.com


velocity should have a "clearAllReferences" option to eliminate unreplaced 
template references.
e.g. 
VelocityEngine ve = new VelocityEngine();
String templateString = "$a$b";
ve.setProperty( "clearAllReferences", "true"); //<==new request
VelocityContext context = new VelocityContext();
context.put("a", "A");
ve.evaluate( context, writer, "mystring", templateString );
//writer == "A", note $b disappears.
//if we want $b not to disappear, either "clearAllReferences" to "false", or 
//use templateString = "$a$$b";
