Note that introspection discovered elements are
in the ant:core namespace. This does make some
things a little difficult to use/explain:

    <ac:switch value="${foo}">
      <ant:case value="bar">
        <echo message="The value of property foo is bar" />
      </ant:case>
      <ant:case value="baz">
        <echo message="The value of property foo is baz" />
      </ant:case>
      <ant:default>
        <echo message="The value of property foo is not sensible" />
      </ant:default>
    </ac:switch>
