[Zope] extra parameters in dtml-var

[Andreas Brinner]

Hello,

I have searched the internet and the maillinglist, but haven't found any 
answer. Why is it not possible to pass extra parameters to the called 
script with <dtml-var ...> in the following way:

Example:
 <dtml-var some_other_dtml_method say="hello">

with some_other_dtml_method:
 <dtml-if say>
    I say: <dtml-var say>
 </dtml-if>

O.K. there is the way:
<dtml-var expr="some_other_dtml_method( _, REQUEST, say='Hello')">

But in my opinion this is unnessecary complicated, the first way would be 
more intuitive and it shouldn't be so complicated to implement it.

So, was this discussed earlier and is there a reason for not doing it so?
