Nathan Bubna commented on VELOCITY-686:
---------------------------------------

I'm with Byron.  I think this ought to work like a block created with #define.

> BlockMacro renders $bodyContent on #set

> Given the following VTL:
> #macro(foo)#set($x = $bodyContent)#end
> #...@foo()bar#end
> renders to:
> bar
> I wonder about calling render on JJTBLOCK types in the ProxyVMContext get 
> method.  Do you think it would be better in ASTReference render?
> There is an interesting use case for BlockMacros which looks something like 
> this:
> #macro(escXML)$tool.escXml($bodyContent)#end
> The above definition could be used to create a filter like the following:
> #...@escxml
>   ## ... rendered stuff to be escaped
> #end
> $tool.escXml can intercept the writer and create a filter.  But as it stands 
> referencing $bodyContent renders the content making this use case impractical.
