-------------------------------------------------------------------
It's a design decision in FreeMarker that user defined directives (including
macros) and user defined functions are just variables. They all use the same
namespace. To be more precise, directives and functions are first class
values, that is, you can pass them around just like strings or numbers or
anything else. So with {{<#macro foo>}} you create a value of type macro, and
then assign that to the variable {{foo}} (similarly as {{<#assign foo = ...>}}).
Many other languages do the same, but of course different people prefer
different approaches (hence I marked this as "Not A Problem"). But surely
changing this is not backward compatible.
