Velocity doesn't do arithmetics with java.lang.Long

           Summary: Velocity doesn't do arithmetics with java.lang.Long
           Product: Velocity
           Version: 1.4
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Source
        AssignedTo: velocity-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: teo@mediaworks.lt


If I put a java.lang.Long value into velocity context and try to do
arithmetics ('#set ($result = $long_value + 1)') with it, I get an 
undefined value. If I convert that value into java.lang.Integer and 
put Integer into context, simple arithmetic operations work well.

Is this a bug, or is this intended operation? I really need operations
on Long values in velocity templates. I could write support for this
myself, but I want feedback before doing it.

P.S. I also checked other classes, like java.lang.Double, java.lang.Float- they
don't work either.

P.P.S. I also checked this on Velocity v1.3, same results.
