Byron Foster commented on VELOCITY-711:
---------------------------------------
I've played with dynamic scoping over lexical scoping in the 2.0exp branch, and
yea, I think dynamic scoping is more appropriate for VTL, and in a world of
block macros, falls out much nicer.
> Add a #scope directive for modifying scope behavior

> Project: Velocity
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Engine
> Reporter: Byron Foster
> Fix For: 1.7

>
> A propose adding a #scope block directive that would take a context as an
> argument, and all VTL within the #scope block would be executed using the
> given scope. The need for this directive comes up when using block macros.
> For example I may want the $bodyContent of the macro to be executed in the
> outer scope of block macro. Take the following case:
> #for($bank in $banks)
> #...@lineitem() $bank.name #if(!$bank.solvent)<b>Bankrupt</b>#end #end
> #end
> #macro(lineItem)
> #scope($macro.outer)<div class="lineItem">$bodyContent</div>#end
> #end
