Actually, if defined as things that get resolved until needed (task
execution time), then they don't make since in projets or targets. As well,
in order to have a sane parse, you'd have to make sure all properties were
loaded before construction projects/targets began. This either means that
all properties are defined before targets -- or a multi pass of the build
file gets made.
So, currently I'd object.
