<:dump eval=...> breaks

Description

Running this works fine:

<:set thisIs = "fun" /> <:dump var=thisIs label="This is my first ever variable dump" />

Replacing the <:dump> with an eval attribute, it breaks:

<:dump eval=thisIs />

Error:

variable [FUN] doesn't exist StacktraceThe Error Occurred in /Applications/lucee-5.0.0.49-express/lucee-server/context/library/tag/Dump.cfc: line 62 60: attrib['label'] = attrib.eval; 61: 62: attrib['var'] = evaluate(attrib.eval, arguments.caller); 63: } 64: called from /Applications/lucee-5.0.0.49-express/webapps/ROOT/2.lucee: line 3

for the moment i have improved the exception message in that case to

attribute "eval" cannot be evaluated because it is not a string the attribute "eval" is not supported for the Lucee dialect.

yes please

Ah, ok - that makes sense now.

I personally think option 1 would be the better way here.

Do you want me to create a new issue for removing eval?

just a site note, if we go for option #2 code like the following will no longer work.

<cfset v="now()"> <cfdump eval="#v#">

because then "#v#" is handled as a string and not as an variable declaration

this is not really a bug, this happens because the lucee dialect handles unquouted values as a variable and not as a string like the cfml dialect does:
https://bitbucket.org/lucee/lucee/wiki/Lucee_5_Unquoted_arguments

In my opinion we have 2 solutions for this:

1. remove the eval attribute
2. make Lucee the value of the argument not parsing as a variable at all, like for example "loop-condition"
