Re: catching #parse errors

Hi Claude,

Appreciate the vote of support, and good point about the 4 common use cases.

I think it'll help developers if we also do the following in conjunction
with this patch.

(1) include example event handlers in velocity.jar to do common tasks (like
relative path loading)
(2) allow the event handlers to be configured in velocity.properties instead
of in code.

I'd be happy to work on item # 1 when and if this patch gets committed.

Best,

WILL
