Re: EscapeTool (and velocity-tool best practices)

Interesting.  I've never used CharSequence, but the patch looks useful, even 
if we don't
go with full toString() equality.

Let's move this to the developer's list if there's any further discussion.
Best,
WILL

Hi Will,
To carry this further, I've proposed previously that the "==" operator
have
a fallback to toString equality.  In other words if the user does
#if ($a == $b)
If a and b are the same class, it should call equals(), but otherwise it
should call toString.equals().
Here's a somewhat related bugzilla issue:
  http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32179
  (Workaround the lack of equality in CharSequence.)
