Nathan Bubna updated VELOCITY-510:
----------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 2.0
Issue Type: Wish (was: Improvement)
There's no way we would ever have overloading by type, as VTL is nearly
typeless.
Overloading by number of arguments may take some pretty drastic changes. I
don't see this happening in a 1.x timeline.

> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.0

>
> It would be very useful to be able to overload macro definitions with
> different number of/types of parameters.
> Many, many times there is aneed to slightly tweak an existing macro to give
> it new capabilities. Rather than create a new one with a different name, it
> would make it much neater if you could create a new one with the same name.
> Another way to achieve similar results would be to allow a variable number of
> parameters. Although not quite as formal, this would provide a reasonable
> alternative.
