Ok, the example listed was just to show it worked... I had thought that
eval would be useful in building reusable macros. This is a real world
example. If there is a better way to make this happen please let me know,
but this seemed useful right now.
## Include file
#macro (target $targeter $perElement)
#set ($targeting=$req.resolveName($targeter))
#foreach ($item in $targeting.target($req))
#eval($perElement)
#end
#end
## Actual VM
#target("AllNewsletters" '<li> $item $item.shortName</li>')
#target("CustomNewsletters" '<li> $item $item.shortName</li>')
Using two different content targeting models this should list the names of
all the relevant content. What is the correct non-eval way?

Why not just:
#set ($text="foo")
#set ($bar="bar!")
#set ($foo="this is some $text $!bar")
?
I don't think we need a #eval. This has already been discussed on the
list.
