That's indeed quiet controversial. It moves ant from a declarative style to a more algorithmique language.
What I dislike is that a target can have some side effect on datatype. Because id's are global, that will means that when you are using an id into a task, you have to look at its definition to know what it is about, and you will have to search in all other targets in all build files included if there is no augmentation of the datatype. Did you have any example to demonstrates the benefits of such task ?
