http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4320 Loosen requirements on variable names with formal names Summary: Loosen requirements on variable names with formal names Product: Velocity Version: 1.1 Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Build AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The current syntax only allows letters, numbers, dash, and underscore. I would like to use . as a separator and would like to allow + as well. I understand how this would be a problem using the normal notation, because you may want the . to indicate a field of the object. But there should be no problem if the variable name is specifed using the formal notation. I propose allowing more characters in a variable name when using formal notation. So I could have things like: class ${c++.class.name}
