Ah, I see.

sets foo to ${basedir}/bar in Ant. This would probably be the closest

You'd probably want to call it loadextensions / then.

Tasks should offer functionality on a much higher level than functions ...
Here's my dream about NAnt:
1. Tasks should actually DO something. That something is: compile, create,
delete, XSL transform, update from cvs, send email, run unit tests, install,
uninstall, start/stop services,
+1 on the if task refactoring. I'm not sure about removing sysinfo
though. I realize that a getenv() function would provide equivalent
functionality, however I like the fact that I just need to do
sysinfo/
and then I have access to the environment block without having to call
any more

really like and appreciate what you've done so far, but I just want to be
sure we're doing the right thing and not let you guys get carried away in
your enthousiasm too fast :-) But I agree that its really exciting
Gert:
I'm definitely not saying that we should provide a task alternative for
every function we support in the expression eval, but by not providing
task
support for basic build tasks, we're actually forcing build authors
to
use expression support ...
I look at the separation between tasks and
Ian:
Personally I think this case is fairly clear cut. Any
task that has a property attribute and whose purpose is to set that
attribute will be more simply expressed using a function:
FWIW, I agree with this. I wrote the path task simply to make it
unnecessary to have to use a script task
Jarek:
See attached code for actual code used to implement path::* functions.
That looks great, thanks!

Hmm - thats got me thinking. Currently we auto load 3 types of nant
objects - Tasks, types and now functions. However there is only the one
corresponding task - loadtasks
I'm wondering if we should either :
add two extra tasks loadtypes and loadfunctions
or haveloadtasks scan for all nant
Yeah,
And now we have an excellent definition of what should be a task and
what should be a function - that we can add to the docs. One of us needs
to play devils advocate - quite often its been me :).

This looks good William. However I'm thinking that the new function
support will be easier to use to do this kind of stuff.
the following path related functions will be included:
path.changeextension
path.combine
path.getdirectoryname
path.getextension
path.getfilename
