2nd Case Substitution example in the user guide doesn't work

Hi all,

I was going over the User Guide, and found that the Case Substitution
example for get methods with parameters doesn't work.

The following:

## Let's say that $data.getUser("jon") returns "Doe".
$data.getUser("jon")
## is the same as
$data.User("jon")

produces:

Doe
$data.User("jon")

and not the expected:

Doe
Doe

This didn't work with the latest source in CVS, either.  Is this going
to be implemented, or is it just a mistake in the documentation? 
Anybody knows?

Best regards,

if the documentation says that $data.User('jon') should work, then it is wrong
and i'm surprised it's gone so long unnoticed.  the short notation for methods
only works for the standard bean type methods.  so:

$foo.setFoo('foo')  can be changed to #set( $foo.foo = 'foo' )

$foo.getFoo() can be changed to either $foo.foo or $foo.Foo

and so on.  but:

$foo.getFoo('bar')  cannot be shortened at all.

and

$foo.thisIsNonStandard()  cannot be shortened at all.

if the user guide suggests otherwise, i'd recommend submitting a bugzilla
report and a patch to clarify/fix things.
