Subject:	Can't use TABLE plugin with STRICT mode

To:	bug-Template-Toolkit [...] rt.cpan.org
From:	Victor Porton <porton [...] narod.ru>

When running the attached script with attached template, it produces an error (.defined method does not work). So, tables are practically unable to be used with STRICT mode. $ ./test-tt.pl var.undef error - undefined variable: elt.defined Template Toolkit 2.24-1.2+b1 on Debian Linux. perl 5, version 20, subversion 2 (v5.20.2) built for i586-linux-gnu-thread-multi-64int Workaround: Use [%TRY%]/[%CATCH%] to catch the error.

That's the way it is meant to work. See http://tt2.org/docs/manual/Config.html#section_STRICT Gordon

You've misinterpreted my request. I do not ask WHY it does not work. It is perfectly clear for me. Instead I ask to modify the counter- intuitive and counter-productive way it works now. elt.defined should work without exceptions independently on whether the variable elt is defined. Otherwise .defined becomes useless. There is .defined in your documentation. Documented features should always work not throw exceptions. My proposed change on how it should work is useful in practice. In the original bug report I have shown that currently tables are in way broken in TT. It should not be so.
