The Velocity parser does not appear to support arithmetic expressions as
arguments in method calls. I find this extremely surprising, given the
ubiquity of this basic syntax among most languages.
## This works as expected:
#set ($lastIndex = $list.size() - 1)
#set ($last = $list.get($lastIndex))
<p>$last</p>
