Most likely you don't want double expansion in most cases.
Right, but how often would you even notice the difference? Usually property values do not themselves contain interpolable variables, as seen by the fact that this problem
has just been reported twice since macrodef was introduced.
The biggest problem I see is AntUnit. Here the macro is defined in a
different place and we'd need a new release that requires Ant 1.8.3 to
fix it.
True; so release a new AntUnit - a much smaller user audience than Ant itself I
suppose.
add the attribute to trunk but make trunk's behavior
default to not expand ${} twice (flagging it as breaking BWC)
This would cause a major problem for the many scripts out there which rely on the current behavior. They could not run unchanged on 1.9 (and few people will find this
item in the release notes, much less understand its implications); nor could they be fixed in advance, since the attribute would be rejected by 1.8.x.
