suppression of error messages
btw--
WebMacro has a habit of being verbose in it's error messages,
which can get annoying.
If you attempt $variable.that.results.in.null, it'll spew forth
<!-- Unable to locate $variable.that.results.in.null -->
Which is useful sometimes, but gets in your way sometimes
also, when you do something like this:
<input type="text" value="$possiblyNull"/>
iSpock allows $!possiblyNull, and the addition of the !
suppresses output of warnings.
(Additionally, iSpock allows customization of the comment
characters around/in-front-of warnings/errors that are
printed.)
I think the per-variable suppression of warnings is absolutely
needed. Comment-customization is just plain nice to have.
