How is this different from say
<property name="result" value="${testloc}"/>
<property name="testloc" location="testdir"/>
<target name="default">
<echo message="Result is ${result}"/>
</target>
It doesn't work either.
If you delay the configuration of <path>, but not the expansion of
properties, properties and data-types will get even more inconsistent.
This doesn't mean that your idea is bad, maybe we should apply the
same to property expansion as well then? I'm very unsure, though.
