Macrodef very explicitly says that the macro invocation is treated as a Task.
Unfortunately, I need macros to simplify gathering resources, so macrodef doesn't help me. So I'm requesting <resource-macrodef> and <resource-macro> -- just working names, I'm sure something better exists -- which are isomorphic with Macrodef but have invocations that are typed as Resource Collections. Syntax could be almost identical, but use <union> in place of <sequential> as the body element. Or, perhaps better, just modify macrodef so it recognizes when its body is a union rather than a squential and changes its type (and the type of its invocation) appropriately. (Personally, I really wish that you'd left macros as pure syntactic operations rather than constraining them to be tasks in the first place... but since that decision was made, I think you need to "drop the other shoe" and give us the resources equivalent.) ______________________________________ "Everything should be as simple as possible.
