This is very cool. BTW one new uberspector that I'd like to add in the  
future is an ExceptionCatchingUberspector which allows catching  
exception from methods called and making them available in a velocity  
context variable. By default the uberspector would let the exception  
go through but a flag could be set to enable it. The general idea is  
to have a single API, the java one and not a special API for Velocity  
calls.

I'll help.

I guess this is because of the trick we have of using the same  
template name when we do includes... :(
