Ok, Geir, thanks a lot, your implementation works fine for my needs.

Not sure the mask would be a so good idea : for the recursion case, for instance, the
usage would not be as straightforward as it is
now, as in :
#macro recurse($item)
#local($item)
...
#recurse($item.child)
...
#end
#end
(there would be an extra reference, and an extra #set directive).

Btw, Geir, some mails ago in this tread, you wrote :
>>> Why not make context.localscope true? What's the problem there?
>> - all needed global stuff must be passed as arguments to macros
> That shouldn't be true.
Did you mean that the actual behaviour should be changed, or that it should not be the
actual behaviour ?
'cause it IS the actual behaviour, cf. VMContext.java get method,#223, where in fact
'get' should always behave the same way and
ignore localcontextscope.
(hum... the comments reveal a cut&past from the 'put' method ;-) )
if(localcontextscope)
{
/*
* if we have localcontextscope mode, then just
* put in the local context
*/
o = localcontext.get( key );
}
else
{
/*
* try the local context
*/
o = localcontext.get( key );
if ( o == null)
{
/*
* last chance
*/
o = innerContext.get( key );
}
}
Thanx,
CloD
