That is a difficult question to answer; I am not yet
sure whether explicitly named properties scopes are
necessary, but antlib scopes strike me as only one use
of scoped definitions; i.e. wrap any set of
<[[task|type]def|antlib|import]>s in a scope and...
what?  This smells like a can of worms I'm not sure we
want to open just yet... one can argue against the
need for antlib scope; if a property needs local scope
between two or more definitions in the same antlib,
then the proper approach should be the use of a
macrodef containing the propertyscope within its
<sequential> block.
