 * <!-- START SNIPPET: javadoc -->
 *
 * All Struts requests are wrapped with this class, which provides simple JSTL accessibility. This is because JSTL
 * works with request attributes, so this class delegates to the value stack except for a few cases where required to
 * prevent infinite loops. Namely, we don't let any attribute name with "#" in it delegate out to the value stack, as it
 * could potentially cause an infinite loop. For example, an infinite loop would take place if you called:
 * request.getAttribute("#attr.foo").
