Add custom functions to context?

Hello,

Is it possible to call custom function in Velocity macro without using object name?

I.e., instead of using:

$myClass.myFunction("my String")

I would like to use:

myFunction("my String")

WbW,
Tim

Well you might 'wrap' your custom function by defining a macro e.g.

#macro( myFunction $myString )
$myClass.myFunction( $myString )
#end

then to call it, simply:

#myFunction( $myString )

Obviously the object $myClass needs to be available in the context.
