Description

The following velocity directive (which IS NOT proper code and should create a
meaningful error)

#if ( (1 == $currentAccount.getAmountDue().compareTo(BigDecimal.valueOf(0)))
&& ($currentAccount.isAccountStatusActive()) && (0 ==
$currentAccount.scheduledPaymentList().size()) )

gives this error:

Encountered ")" at line 27, column 75.
Was expecting one of:
"," ...
")" ...
...
...

Handcopied from veloedit in Eclipse (a little clearer):

Encountered ")" at line 27, column 75. [After BigDecimal.valueOf(0)]
Was expecting one of:
"," ...
")" ...
<WHITESPACE> ...
<DOT> ...

The error thrown is internally-inconsistent (the parser found a right-paren,
but expected to find a right-paren) and useless.
