Rather simple is also
<property name="newVar" value="${ myVar.tolower }" />
which you would get by enabling Flaka's [1] property helper.
Also checkout [2] for many other 'String' properties and functions
working on (String) objects. For example, you could also utilize
Java's Formatter [3] capabilities for additional conversion mechanics,
like shown here for creating the 'uppercase' property:
<property name="newVar" value="${ format('%S', myVar) }" />
An upcoming version of Flaka will allow you to define your very own functions.
