Keep in mind that it is our wrapper script that sets the property.  If
you launch ant any other way (IDE, script of your own, embedded),
there is no guarantee that it will be defined.

But that's precisely my use case. In an environment where there is more than one way to launch ant, I sometimes get unexpected results. In my case I've got a JPackage install, plus various trees of various versions of ant in various stages of development. When something hasn't worked they way I want, I need to go see what ANT_HOME was defined as at the moment Ant launched. I don't want to do anything with it, I just want to see how it was defined, without reading a lot of shell scripts trying to understand which path got me where I am. In fact, knowing what ANT_HOME was eventually chosen makes it easier to follow the shell scripts. If ANT_HOME is not defined, that also is worth knowing.
