[jira] Commented: (VELOCITY-672) add '#for' as a synonym for '#foreach'

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-672?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12665508#action_12665508 ] 

Jarkko Viinamäki commented on VELOCITY-672:
-------------------------------------------

I'd prefer to keep the amount of directives to minimum. I can't see any real benefits of this alias. It just creates a need for additional documentation, tests and requires new lines of code in the parser. Foreach is consistent with several other scripting languages.
