[stringtemplate-interest] Inconsistent handling of multi-valued attributes?

[Steve Ims]

Hi,

   I'm using the latest ST Java APIs.  The first/last/rest operators don't work as I expected them to ... wondering if it's user error/misperception, or a bug?

   Here's an example:

        StringTemplate hello = new StringTemplate("Hello, $first(name/foo)$ $first(name/bar)$");
        Map m = new HashMap();
        m.put("name/foo", new String[]{"World","Mary","Bob"});
        hello.setAttributes(m);
        hello.setAttribute("name/bar", new String[]{"World","Mary","Bob"});
        System.out.println(hello.toString());

   My expected result:  
Hello, World World

   Observed result:
Hello, [Ljava.lang.String;@53f853f8 World


   Suggestions?  Thanks.

-- Steve
