[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-406?page=all ]

Henning Schmiedehausen updated VELOCITY-406:
--------------------------------------------

      Component/s: Engine
                       (was: Source)
    Fix Version/s: 1.6

Will think about Maps slices for 1.6. Iterable is supported if you use a custom 
Uberspect (see whiteboard/henning/jdk15). Groovy might have stolen the 
"horrible map syntax" from us, so there is nothing we can do here... :-) 

> Improved Syntax for Maps and Collections

> I would like to see some syntatic sugar for Maps and Collections and perhaps 
> other Objects too. 
> (I have read that there will be a syntax for map literals in 1.5, that's a 
> first step.)
> I want to have something like in groovy: 
> http://groovy.codehaus.org/Collections
> Scroll down to "Slicing with the subscript operator".
> PS: Please do never implement this terrible confusing groovy map bean syntax, 
> where "map.foo" ist equivalent to "map.get("foo")".
