Problem with macro named beginning with "set"

FYI

I encountered a problem using a macro name beginning with "set" 
I assume the parser confuses this with an actual #set( ... ) directive.
I changed "set" to "sit" and it works fine. Easy to get around but I was
wondering if it was a problem that should be corrected in the parser OR
it should be mentioned in the documentation with any other reserved
words that may not begin macro names (parserXXX, includeXXX and ifXXX
worked OK but I didn't try any others).
I am using 1.3rc1 of Velocity with VelocityServlet

Sample template:

#macro( setXXX )
    stuff here
#end
<html>
<body>
#setXXX()
</body>
</html>

produces error:


2002-05-31 21:09:39,040 [HttpProcessor[80][4]] INFO  - Velocimacro :

I assume this is for an adult site?

This is fixed in CVS head.  Give it a try.
