Dániel Dékány commented on FREEMARKER-183:
------------------------------------------
Yeah, it's dirty. But I just realized that the hard practical issue with 3 is
that you then *must* not write out the `()`, and people will be constantly
confused about that, because most just copies what's done in Java (I expect
that because in most SO questions they use {{obj.getFoo()}} in templates, not
realizing that {{obj.foo}} is possible). In some languages the just make the
the compromise where {{()}} is optional (and that leads to messy source files,
because, obviously, people will use both forms randomly, especially in a team).
Unfortunately, without having a separate method namespace, that's not feasible
for us. Well, what can I say... the owners of the Java language has made a big
mess out of it, for every other language, but especially for FreeMarker.
