  ===================================================================
  A collection of questions to be answered before
  a final specification can be drafted:
  
  
  1. Should the last element of an iterator be
     available after the block is complete:
     
     #foreach $element in $list
     {
         $element
     }
     
     Is $element available here or not.
     
     Right now in velocity if $element is defined
     before the #foreach it is saved and restored
     after the #foreach. The value of $element is
     not available after the #foreach block.
     
  2. How should expressions in #if/#elseif be
     evaluated?
     
     #if ($variable)
     {
         do something.
     }
     
     Strictly to boolean values. Right now in
     velocity if $variable is defined an a
     Boolean object then true/false applies.
     If $variable is defined and is not a Boolean
     object then the expression is true.
