OK, another use case and one I can support - and comparing Thomas'
approach with yours, his is obviously clearer and more explicit, hence

Sounds artificial to me. This means we'd delibaretly lock out people
wanting to write a <foreach> task from functionality that is already
there.

I've already said I'd be -0 for generalized task composition, this
hasn't changed. And I could live with restricting it to <parallel>
and <target>, with an uneasy feeling.
