Request Trim Attribute on Property Task

           Summary: Request Trim Attribute on Property Task
           Product: Ant
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks

For properties being loaded from a properties file, it would be very useful to 
have a trim attribute that would trim all whitespace from the property value 
(a simple Java 'String.trim()').

For instance, if you want to load "foo.properties" without potential trailing 
whitespace problems:

  <property resource="foo.properties" trim="true" />

If there were a property line "prop.a=dist    ":

  (a) With trim set to true, Ant would interpret this as "prop.a=dist" 
      without the spaces.  

  (b) With trim set to false, or missing, Ant would interpret this as 
      it currently does as "prop.a=dist    ".
