[BUG] comments inline after a set directive

[Christoph Reck <Ch...@dlr.de>]

Comments inline after a set directive is not yet possible.

If you add the following 2 lines to test/templates/comment.vm

#set $foo = "bar"  ## foo should be now same as bar
$foo

you will see that this is not yet possible (throws a NPE) and a
parser error in the log file:
Parser Exception: comment.vm : org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.ParseException: Encountered "\n" at line 35, column 5.

I know :)  You mentioned it before and I wrote it down.  Currently, the
#set is to be kept alone on its own line.

We are going to normalize the set directive :
   
   #set( expression )

to look like other directives, and then deprecate the current #set over
time.

Then you can do whatever you want with it.  I will try to let ## tail a
#set when i do that fix.
