And that's all I'm wanting to do. Struts <html:form> tag library has a lot
of simplifying (for the web developer, at least :) code in it. And at least
one other person wanted a knock-off Velocity form macro library. To achieve
that, calling args by name-value seems most appropriate.

FYI, I was against it as well for a long time.

What convinced me that it was ok was that it didn't add any new 'language'
to Velocity. It simply allows you to create reusable bits which actually has
the potential to simplify things.

Needless to say, you can always disable the ability to use #macro.
