macrodef implicit element

           Summary: macrodef implicit element
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks

It would be great if macrodef could declare an implicit element if there is only
one element.  For example, I have need to do various things with hypersonic
running.  Macros make the tangle of parallel and sequential statements easy to
reuse, but without an implicit element, I have this silly-looking <do> element
in the usage:

<!-- usage -->
<withhypersonic>
  <do>
    <!-- do whatever -->
  </do>
</withhypersonic>

<!-- definition -->
<macrodef name="withhypersonic">
  <element name="do" optional="false"/>
  <sequential>
    <parallel>
      <dbstart/>
      <sequential>
        <waitfor>
          <socket server="localhost" port="${hypersonic.port}"/>
        </waitfor>

        <do/>

        <dbstop/>
      </sequential>
    </parallel>
  </sequential>
</macrodef>

The implicit element might work like this:

<!-- revised usage -->
<withhypersonic>
  <!-- do whatever -->
</withhypersonic>

<!-- revised definition -->
<macrodef name="withhypersonic">
  <element name="do" implicit="true"/>
  <sequential>
    <parallel>
      <dbstart/>
      <sequential>
        <waitfor>
          <socket server="localhost" port="${hypersonic.port}"/>
        </waitfor>

        <do/>

        <dbstop/>
      </sequential>
    </parallel>
  </sequential>
</macrodef>
