The mail archives shows that one was submitted to the list last September:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ant-dev&m=97016522108514&w=2
and a follow-up, regarding string replacements:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ant-dev&m=97017613432557&w=2
I don't see the task in the CVS tree anywhere, so I guess it was never
actually committed (maybe it needed documenting?) Anyway, you can try
picking it up from the list and see how it goes.
