I realize I'm finally getting around to responding to a message that is 
5 months old, but....

Why does org.webmacro.Template no longer "extend Macro"?

Doesn't this prohibit one from simply referencing a template object 
that is in the context and have it expand correctly?  For example:

{
	context.put("MyTemplate", new StringTemplate("$foo"));
}

#set $foo = "FOO!"
$MyTemplate

isn't this broken now?
