Re: [nant-dev] PATCH: Expression evaluator for NAnt

[Ian MacLean]

I'd much prefer to see properties still distinguised by the $. Maybe the 
parser can easily determine that its a property but its not so clear for 
a user reading it. Especially since propertys everywhere else require 
the $ syntax.

It's of course possible to distinguish between "property" and "function()"
within the parser.
The following interpretation of keywords is very easy to implement:

keyword followed by "(" is a function call.
true/false are boolean literals
everything else denotes a property
The following would be allowed then (should it be?):

<property name="length" value="aaaaaaaa" />
<if test="length(length)=8">
   <echo message="ok" />
</if>
