Yep. That's an ongoing source of frustration for Velocity newcomers and
seasoned users. Geir wants it that way and there is no way around it.
You might even check if it really checks the value against 3 (value
three) or "3" (string containing '3' char).

Uh, there is a _longish_ thread about this in the velocity-dev
archives. I even had some patches for Velocity 1.1 at some point to
fix this behaviour which Geir didn't want.
Conclusion was "Velocity is a templating language, not a programming
language. If you do business logic in it, you're doing something
wrong". No, that's not _my_ opinion.
