The branch is a good idea. I'd like to evaluate another issue: can we have
TYPED properties? Like this:
<property name="counter" type="integer" value="0" />
This way you can write:
<if test="${counter + 1 <= 100}">
</if>
instead of:
<if test="${convert::to-int(counter) + 1 <= 100}">
</if>
Once a property has its type set, it cannot be re-typed. Every time you
store a value in such a property, it is checked for type compatibility.
Storing data type (optional - would default to string) in a
PropertyDictionary would help here a lot.
