Supporting JSTL functions as well in FreemarkerServlet?

Hi,

We found that FreemarkerServlet doesn't support JSTL functions.
I know there are workaround solutions like [1], but it would be more
seamless, IMHO, if it cares JSTL functions as well.
Would it be a good improvement to support JSTL functions in the core?

I also browsed the source and TaglibFactory.java doesn't care "function"
element at the moment. So I'm thinking that maybe we can improve it to
add functor-like model object into the TaglibFactory.Taglib.tags map
*somehow*.
We're also interested in helping or contributing to improve this. Any
suggestions or hints are more than welcome!

By the way, we Hippo have used Freemarker as the default templating
engine in our Web CMS products [2]. I really appreciate for this great
library and your effort.

Thanks!

Kind regards,

Woonsan
