     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-540?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Nathan Bubna resolved VELOCITY-540.
-----------------------------------

       Resolution: Won't Fix
    Fix Version/s: 2.0
                   1.7

With the addition of the $macro namespace in 1.7 and 2.0, you can now easily create macros that will not affect the parent context.  velocimacro.context.localscope and #local are both unnecessary.

> I prefer #local vs velocimacro.context.localscope because
> you can create macro libraries that allow declaring local vars
> without polluting the namespace, but also enables setting global
> variables. See the thread ending on 16.04.2007 "RE: velocimacro.context.localscope"
> with the #springBind example for such a case.
> If #local is not part of the core, it cannot be used for general purpose velocity macro libraries...
