Something more,
nothing prevents us from this situation:
<target name="input" description="Enter two names">
<input message="Enter your name"
addproperty="name.1">
<input message="Enter your name"
addproperty="name.2">
</target>
So we have same prompts and there is no way
distinguish them as keys in properties file (which are
should be unique) and property names give us more
"uniqueness" as properties are immutable.
In short, using prompt as a key, opens too many traps
and holes.
