Agreed.
One more argument I have recently discovered: When we have a nested
<fileset> anywhere, that is actually implemented by something other
than org.apache.tools.ant.types.FileSet, you cannot use a fileset
defined elsewhere by reference, say like
<fileset id="myfiles" dir="..." />
<target>
<task>
<fileset refid="myfiles" />
</task>
</target>
this won't work if task.fileset is something other than a FileSet -
unless task.fileset applies some special magic here.
Would be quite confusing.
