Ant works fine the way it is. If it works - please don't "fix" it. If what
you want requires a different semantic - create your own task ( you can
extend ant if you want).

Then implement another framework that supports all that if you need that -
but please don't call it ant.
You can still use all ant tasks.
There is nothing wrong with calling the tasks from a scripting language or
from java.
