their templates when upgrading to 1.5 (assuming we properly warn of 
this).
What would be the way to repair that? Either VTL incorporates an 
integer division operator, or a double-to-integer conversion operator; 
otherwise integer division would be lost without a chance to recover it.

Also, beware of the differences in formatting between (new 
Integer(2)).toString() and (new Double(2)).toString(). What would we 
see when we do something like:

#set($tot = $dogs.count() + $cants.count())
<p>There are $tot pets in the store</p>
(Hint: the answer is *not* "There are 15.0 pets in the store").

My intentions are not to add fuel to the flamage, but I like this less 
and less the more I think about it.
