ah, expressions with operators... yeah, that's something we'd probably want to support for method, macro, and directive parameters all at once, to minimize con fusion about where thos are allowed. i suppose they already are allowed in some (all?) directives though.

I thought there was a JIRA issue on this, but I was mistaken. I was thinking it'd be nice to support #someMacro (10 + 10) but I don't feel strongly about it. Actually, on a related topic, I'd really like to see us add syntax for expressions in method calls. I do this all the time (generating a syntax error). $Tool.someMethod($velocityCount - 1) or similar.
