Howdy folks -
  I'm wondering how I might limit the comparisons in velocity templates
to only boolean conditions.

For example:
#if ($value > 20) HIGHLIGHTED BUTTON #else stdbutton #end
would throw an exception and would need to be written with
a context containing "IS_OVER_LIMIT", new Boolean() and this template:
#if ($IS_OVER_LIMIT) HIGHLIGHTED BUTTON #else stdbutton #end

Another example:
#if ($widget.size == "LARGE")  large #else not large #end
would throw an exception and would need to be written as:
#if ($widget.size.isLarge())  large #else not large #end

The question here is academic at this point. I do not care to argue
about why this might be good/bad/weird, nor do I want to hear how it
could be done in another engine. 

I'm just curious to know how one might go about messing with Velocity to
alter it's behaviour as described. Maybe I'll learn something in the
process of looking. :-)

Thanks!
Timo
