Description

The fix for VELOCITY-615 was too radical, since it completely disables #setting new values to the formal arguments. A minimalistic example that used to work up to 1.6 (but not with 1.6.1) is:

#macro(myMacro $result)
#set($result = 'some value')
#end
#myMacro($x)
$x

{/noformat}

which prints $x (as an undefined variable).
