[jira] [Commented] (JEXL-177) Unified expressions to be used in String literals in Jexl scripts

["Henri Biestro (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-177?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14706739#comment-14706739 ] 

Henri Biestro commented on JEXL-177:
------------------------------------

As a general rule, I'm very cautious about adding new constraints to the type system and even more so if it requires modifying the syntax.
Adding 'templates' to the general syntax raises a lot of warnings.
I'm pretty sure templates can be used - and their support implemented in "vanilla" JEXL - without the syntax modification.
