>
> The following VTL calls the toString() method on the object in $foo:
> #if($foo)#end
> If the toString() method throws an exception, the exception is thrown all the
> way out of velocity without any indication of where the vtl reference
> occurred. This patch wraps the exception with a VelocityException with a
> message that indicates the location of the offending reference.
> However, I wonder why toString() is called at all... the code tests for
> toString() == null and returns false if so, and true otherwise in the above
> example vtl. Why is this test necessary, and why isn't just a non-null
> object enough for testing?
