I realized that myself when I looked through the code, I had completely
forgotten about that resource type until I looked for a way to implement
your parsedresource as part of an existing type.

Great.

No, I really meant resource*s*
<resources add="${file(foo.txt)}"/>
This would be a resource collection whose sole element was taken from
expanding the property - much the same way your resource decoration
approach would work but without any decoration going on.
I don't think we have any tasks that accept a nested resource but not a
nested resource collection.

No, then I'd rather see a "parsed" resource 8-)
