Claude Brisson resolved VELOCITY-926.
-------------------------------------
    Resolution: Fixed

Fixed by commit 1873244.

Deprecate velocimacro.arguments.preserve_literals in favor of the new 
{{velocimacro.enable_bc_mode flag,
which mimics 1.7 velocimacro behavior:

- preserve arguments literals:

    #macro(m $arg) $arg #end
    m($null)

will displays $arg w/o bc mode and $null with bc mode

- use global defaults for missing arguments:

    #macro(m $foo) $foo #end
    #set($foo='foo')
    #m()

will display $foo w/o bc mode and 'foo' with bc mode

The following use cases have been left aside from backward compatibility:

- preserving local macro scope values

    #macro(test) #set($foo = 'foo') 
$some_tool.change_foo_value_in_global_context_to_bar() $foo #end
    #test()

will always display 'bar', while 1.7 displayed 'foo'

- setting a null argument to null, while argument name exists in context, 

    #macro(setnull $foo) #set($foo = $null) #end
    #set($foo='foo')
    #setnull($null)
    $foo

Will always display 'foo' (w or w/o bc mode), while 1.7 did display $foo


> Regression: Macro arguments names cannot collide with external references

>             Project: Velocity
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Engine
>    Affects Versions: 2.0, 2.1
>            Reporter: Claude Brisson
>            Assignee: Claude Brisson
>            Priority: Major
>             Fix For: 2.2

>
> Consider the following example:
> {code}
> #macro( test $foo $bar )
>   $foo $bar
> #end
> #set($foo = 'foo')
> #set($bar = 'bar')
> #test( $bar, $foo )
> {code}
> The expected result would be "{{bar foo}}", but since 2.0 we get the 
> incorrect result "{{bar bar}}", as if the first inner {{$foo}} macro argument 
> was overwritting the second argument evaluation.
