Re: Re: [Webmacro-devel] Current directory metaphor for including templates

I'm not wild about that approach. 

This should be something that is handled by the EEH.  Unfortunately the 
EEH interface was designed for handling problems evaluating Variables, 
not Directives or other Macro implementations. 

I'd like to fix that by making the EEH methods take Macro arguments.  
This would allow Directives like #include, and any other Macro 
implementation, to delegate error handling to the EEH, just like 
variables do.  Then you could use an EEH implementation that does 
something special with this kind of exception, e.g., return an error 
string like "Failed to include file MyTemplate.wm: Error=File not found!"
