Claude Brisson commented on VELOCITY-926:
-----------------------------------------
It could be the expected behavior. How, otherwise, would the macro know if it
has been given an argument?
Could you give me an example where the former behavior would be important for
backward compatibility?

> Key: VELOCITY-926
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-926
> Project: Velocity
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Engine
> Affects Versions: 2.0, 2.1
> Reporter: Claude Brisson
> Assignee: Claude Brisson
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.2
>
>
> Consider the following example:
> {code}
> #macro( test $foo $bar )
> $foo $bar
> #end
> #set($foo = 'foo')
> #set($bar = 'bar')
> #test( $bar, $foo )
> {code}
> The expected result would be "{{bar foo}}", but since 2.0 we get the
> incorrect result "{{bar bar}}", as if the first inner {{$foo}} macro argument
> was overwritting the second argument evaluation.
