Hello all, As part of FREEMARKER-107 ?spread_args(arguments) and .args were added. They are related to functionality that's somewhat similar to Python **kwargs, and to currying in functional programming. This activity had no sign here, on the dev list, so please review it, and discuss it here. Description:
- ?spread_args: https://freemarker.apache.org/builds/fm2/ref_builtins_expert.html#ref_builtin_spread_args - .args: https://freemarker.apache.org/builds/fm2/ref_specvar.html#specvar.args The evolution of the feature on Jira: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-107 (Full list of changes in 2.3.30 so far: https://freemarker.apache.org/builds/fm2/versions_2_3_30.html) The Maven artifacts are in the Apache snapshot repository: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots One thing I want to change is the built-in name, from spread_args to with_args. Consider: <@m?spread_args(commonDefaults) x=1 y=2 /> <@m?spread_args(.args) x=1 y=2 /> VS <@m?with_args(commonDefaults) x=1 y=2 /> <@m?with_args(.args) x=1 y=2 /> What do you think?
