Macro scope nesting

           Summary: Macro scope nesting
           Product: Velocity
           Version: 1.2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Source

        ReportedBy: hugg@pobox.com


A problem with recursing macros is that scopes are not nested 
when "velocimacro.context.localscope" is set to true.  That is, a get() on a 
context does not percolate to a parent context if the get() returns null.  This 
prevents accessing global variables in the context.  The desired behavior 
(IMHO) would be for set()s to be local to the macro, and get()s to percolate up 
to the parent if not found.
