Description

GIven the following:

#macro(test $a $b)
#foreach($i in $a) $b #end
#end
#test( [1, 2, 3] "#if($i == 2) yes #else no #end")

I would expect the output:

no yes no

Instead, I get

no no no

The Foreach directive explicitly sets $i in the localscope. This change was made for VELOCITY-285 . Before 285 Velocity correctly gave the results "no yes no" which is svn revision number 471881.
