[Zope-dev] BUG or FEATURE?

[Andy McKay]

Its the <dtml-with REQUEST>, that mucks up the namespace lookup for "value"

<dtml-with REQUEST>
<dtml-in "[1,2,3]">
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('value', _['sequence-item'])">
Doesnt work:<dtml-var value>, works: <dtml-var "REQUEST['value']">
</dtml-in>
</dtml-with>

But with REQUEST is a rather wierd thing to do. Are you sure you want to do
that?

Cheers.
