Minor Description
In short, we wanted "localscope" on for macros due to some recursion. However, this meant that both puts /and/ gets only use the localscope.
For gets this seems overly restrictive--if I set "foo=bar" in my base VelocityContext, and then get into my macro, it should be able to reach that "foo" even if it can't overwrite it.
The attached patch relaxes the "VMContext.get" to let it check first the local scope and then the inner scope. Included is a test that makes sure an "outsideVar" is accessible from VMContext even if localscope is on.
