can't assign a velocity reference to the return value of a method when the value is

I understand this is not a bug, and that it is a documented feature, but I fail 
to see the logic behind preventing the template designer from assigning a 
reference to the return value of a method when that method returns null.  It 
can easily lead to unexpected results unless great care is taken, and it 
prevents the use of temporary references within foreach loops.  This behavior 
is contrary to that of all other templating languages I've seen and there is 
not even an adequate explanation for it.
