[stringtemplate-interest] :html(), :url(), applying Java function from template

[Andrew Goodnough]

1) Not possible in pure ST (not desirable, either).
2) Already possible.  If you change the colon to a dot you can call a
method on the JavaBean.

link(href) ::= "<a href='$href.url()$'>$href.html()</a>"

In your example you set the "href" parameter to your Href bean, which
has methods getUrl() and getHtml() which return an encoded string.
