> Subtraction doesn't work as expected
> ------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: VELOCITY-874
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-874
>             Project: Velocity
>          Issue Type: Bug
>         Environment: VTL in user macro in Atlassian Confluence 5.9.4
>            Reporter: Alexander Rosenberg

> This works as expected:
> {noformat}
> ## @noparams
> #set ($n = 5)
> #set ($m = $n+1)
> <p>$m</p>
> {noformat}
> Output: {{<p>6</p>}}
> However, subtraction doesn't work:
> {noformat}
> ## @noparams
> #set ($n = 5)
> #set ($m = $n-1)
> <p>$m</p>
> {noformat}
> Output: {{<p>$m</p>}}
> From [SO Q&A 
> #15448108|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15448108/subtraction-is-not-working-with-velocity-template],
>  it appears that this behavior is due to the parser treating the 
> hyphen/dash/minus-sign as part of the identifier, but certainly an exception 
> should be made for when the "identifier" ends with only digits and/or hyphens.
> Another case:
> {noformat}
> ## @noparams
> #set ($n = 5)
> #set ($m = $n- 1)
> <p>$m</p>
> {noformat}
> In this case we get an all too familiar {{ParseErrorException}}:
> {noformat}
> org.apache.velocity.exception.ParseErrorException: Encountered "1" at 
> getRenderedContent[line 4, column 16]
> Was expecting one of:
>     <RPAREN> ...
>     "-" ...
>     "+" ...
>     "*" ...
>     "/" ...
>     "%" ...
>     <LOGICAL_AND> ...
>     <LOGICAL_OR> ...
>     <LOGICAL_LT> ...
>     <LOGICAL_LE> ...
>     <LOGICAL_GT> ...
>     <LOGICAL_GE> ...
>     <LOGICAL_EQUALS> ...
>     <LOGICAL_NOT_EQUALS> ...
