Nathan Bubna resolved VELTOOLS-110.
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Yeah, that fits with what i've heard.  I don't we're likely to ever include such a thing in the core engine.  And i don't think it would actually be a better thing to have an omnibus tool that does a bunch of different things.  Most people don't need to use all the functions of a bunch of different tools.  Better to keep it piecemeal for performance and flexibility.  Still, if you make such a tool, it'd be great if you were willing to share it.  Our wiki is always available for such things!  I'm still curious, at least.

> I've been using a combination of the Velocity Tools and it occurred to me that much of the functionality is available via OGNL and so I was thinking about writing an OGNL tool.  Then it occurred to me that, perhaps, the V-Tools team hadn't yet checked out OGNL, so I'm dropping this note to mention it.  Do check it out.  OGNL with the V Context as the root "this" node, would be a very powerful tool.
> While on the subject of integrating with other things, I always wondered why the VelocityContext doesn't implement the java.util.Map interface.  I know that's part of the Velocity project not tools, but it's a curiosity for me.
