Re: weird macro params issue

Hello again

I know it's a corner case, and maybe a cryptic way of defining 
templates, but here is how I actually use it:

<#macro renderLink url anchor=url title=anchor>
    <a href="${url}" title="${title}">${anchor}</a>
</#macro>

This provides full flexibility for the client code of the renderLink 
macro which has sensible defaults.
All the following produce nice results:
<@renderLink "http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/" />
<@renderLink "http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/" "FreeMarker" />
<@renderLink "http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/" "FreeMarker" 
"FreeMarker: Java Template Engine Library" />

Of course I could rewrite the macro definition and implement the same 
behavior with a couple of <#if /> and <#local /> inside it.

thanks
