We *will* regret this at some point. Don't handle @src different from all other parameters. IOW we should pass everything using the map:parameter syntax.
We haven't done it with resources. We shouldn't do it here.
Good point, but to me, "src" already is a special parameter for generators and transformers, I see no problem in making it so for virtual ones as well.
As for resources, they were not meant to be pipeline fragments anyway, but entire pipelines, so a special "src" attribute doesn't make any sense for an entire pipeline.
