MacroDef doesn't allow properties named 'description'

           Summary: MacroDef doesn't allow properties named 'description'
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


The following successfully executes the first macro with the attribute 
of 'descriptn', but the second macro with the attribute 'description' fails 
with the error 'required attribute description not set'.

this should either be fixed, or documented that 'description' is an invalid 
attribute type.

<project default="test">

   <macrodef name="working.macro">
      <attribute name="descriptn"/>
      <sequential>
         <echo>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</echo>
      </sequential>
   </macrodef>

   <macrodef name="broken.macro">
      <attribute name="description"/>
      <sequential>
         <echo>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</echo>
      </sequential>
   </macrodef>

   <target name="test" description="Illustrate MacroDef 'description' 
attribute problem">
      <working.macro descriptn = "A descriptn" />
      <broken.macro description = "A description"/>
   </target>    
</project>
