Nathan Bubna commented on VELOCITY-618:
---------------------------------------

at first glance, i see two problems:

- I recently fixed the "issue of #if statements being ignored because one of 
the sides of the comparison is null, or non-existent".  This doesn't require a 
strict mode being enabled to allow it.  So, the changes to ASTNENode and 
ASTEQNode are extraneous. :)

- i don't see any reason to make uberInfo a public field in ASTReference

Otherwise, it looks good.  I can see people using this too, and i don't really 
have any problem with allowing null values to be kept/set in the context as 
long as it still passes the test suite.  Speaking of which, would you be 
willing to create a test case for these changes/features?  It would make it a 
lot easier for me to get these changes in and would help ensure no one breaks 
them in the future.

> The given patch against trunk adds a new option 'runtime.references.strict'.  
> When set to true, invalid property references will throw a 
> InvalidMethodException.  For example $foo.bar will throw an exception if the 
> object contained in $foo has no such property as bar.  Any kind of reference 
> to bar will cause an exception including:
> #if(#foo.bar)
> #set($foo.bar = "junk")
> #set($foo.getBar())
> etc...
