Re: Does FM support varargs or arrays in method calls?

Okay, I've completed the backport.

You can grab a freemarker.jar built from 2.3.11 codebase and further  
enhanced with support for vararg method invocations from our  
continuous integration server at
<http://freemarker.org:8085/download/FM-BRANCH23/artifacts/build-41/Library/freemarker.jar 
 >

I'd like to hear feedback whether everything works as expected.
