I have no problem with the name change. Shorter works for me. Thanks Daniel

Hello all,
As part of FREEMARKER-107 ?spread_args(arguments) and .args were added.
They are related to functionality that's somewhat similar to Python
**kwargs, and to currying in functional programming. This activity had no
sign here, on the dev list, so please review it, and discuss it here.
Description:
- ?spread_args:
https://freemarker.apache.org/builds/fm2/ref_builtins_expert.html#ref_builtin_spread_args
- .args:
https://freemarker.apache.org/builds/fm2/ref_specvar.html#specvar.args
The evolution of the feature on Jira:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-107
(Full list of changes in 2.3.30 so far:
https://freemarker.apache.org/builds/fm2/versions_2_3_30.html)
The Maven artifacts are in the Apache snapshot repository:
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots
One thing I want to change is the built-in name, from spread_args to
with_args. Consider:
<@m?spread_args(commonDefaults) x=1 y=2 />
<@m?spread_args(.args) x=1 y=2 />
VS
<@m?with_args(commonDefaults) x=1 y=2 />
<@m?with_args(.args) x=1 y=2 />
What do you think?
