My take on this is that it's adding to an already complex mechanism. NAnt
is closer to a scripting activity than a large scale project activity, and
should
take its lead from scripting languages.
Besides, are there any better examples? One should never write
<if test="${a=false}" >, since <if test="${not a}>
is clearer (to the extent that any part of this syntax can be clear).
