[stringtemplate-interest] Attribute not found exception?

[Koen Van Exem]

Hi Kunle,

If this is a design choice, then couldn't we add a
'strict' mode, just like the 'lint' mode?

This is one of the reasons why people are migrating
from Velocity to FreeMarker.

Another option could be a sending a warning to
the errorlistener?

If you want then I'll code it and send you a patch?.

With kind regards,
Koen

PS: I meant 'piece' of software, although it actually gave me some 
'peace' of mind when switching from Velocity ;-)
