How to get a '#' in the output and a possible bug..

[Scott Palmer]

I'm new so if I just don't get it yet, sorry.
class MyObj {
 public String thing( int i ) { return String.valueOf( i*i ); }
}
MyObj sysObj = new MyObj();
context.add("sys",mySysObj);
My template looks like:
$sys.thing(##)   just a test
which results in a crash.
org.apache.velocity.exception.ParseErrorException: Encountered " \t" at 
line 18, column 11
Was expecting one of:
   <EOF>
...

But if I split that line of my template
$sys.thing(
##)  just a test
or if I simply move the ## over by one character
$sys.thing()##  just a test
The template is processed without any problems.  giving the output
$sys.thing()
Why is the single line comment not working when it is between the 
parenthesis, when a true end of line at the same spot works fine?

I discovered this while trying to output the line
$sys.thing(#)
to show the usage of the sys.thing method within the template.  I've 
been trying to escape the $ or # with a backslash, but nothing give me 
what I want so that no substitution takes place and I don't get a 
backslash included in the output.

Regards,
Scott
