Is this you being facetious? Couldn't this be said about any feature. Why
don't we add the ability to evaluate perl scipts inside attributes?
Really, if people know what they are doing, why not?
Immutable properties are good because they free ant developers and ant users
from worrying about sequencing concerns in project processing and it is a
much simpler model for build file writers. They don't have to worry about how
different tasks handle assignment. So much for making things consistent.
