Maybe it would be a good idea to allow #macro's to be passed in a value if
they have a #end. Therefore, it would be easy to do something like this:
context.put("escape", new Escape());
-----------
#macro (htmlescape $pass)
$escape.getText($pass)
#end
-----------
Then in your page:
#htmlescape
<>""
#end
It would make it really easy to emulate #defines that way and seems to be a
cleaner way of implementing things than making everyone create their own
#directives like WM does. :-)
I would be +1 to have it be severely restricted though. For example, you can
only pass in one argument and that argument can only be a String.
