Adding magic properties for targets?

Hi all,

Colm's patch in
<https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44980> adds two
new magic properties, one for the build's default target and one for
the targets specified on the command line (or via <*ant*>).

IIRC such properties have been suggested many moons ago and rejected,
but now the dev community is a different one and maybe we do see some
things differently today. I know that I do, i.e. I'd probably add
them today.

Before I start to discuss gritty details of a really trivial patch,
let's have a quick poll so we know whether such a feature would be
acceptable. If anybody out there would reject either property, could
you please raise your hand?

Stefan
