Daniel Dekany commented on FREEMARKER-86:
-----------------------------------------
It will look a bit strange though, as the template language can't pollute the
top-leve namespace. That leaves two possibilities: `[a, b]?max`, and `.max(a,
b)` (the last uses the built-in variable syntax, like `.version`, etc.). I
think we should go for `[a, b]?max`. (BTW, as an unintended benefit, that's
also usable like `someList?max`.)
> min(x,y) and max(x,y)

> It would be great to have these two builtins for numbers. At the moment, I
> have to create functions like:
> {code}
> <#function max(a, b)>
> <#return (a > b)?then(a, b)>
> </#function>
> {code}
