nested property name

This is by design. Use ant-contrib's <propertycopy> (or <copyproperty> I
never know) to achieve a similar effect. --DD

Subject: nested property name

Is there a reason why:
     <property file="${specjbbScriptsHome}/specjbb.properties"/>
     <echo message="${timeoutSeconds.${level}}"/>
doesn't work?
this code:
     <property file="${specjbbScriptsHome}/specjbb.properties"/>
     <echo message="${timeoutSeconds.${level}}"/>
     <echo message="${timeoutSeconds.sanity}"/>
     <echo message="${level}"/>
     <echo message="${timeoutProperty}"/>
and the contents in specjbb.properties:
timeoutSeconds.sanity=10

gets this result:
    [echo] ${timeoutSeconds.${level}}
    [echo] 10
    [echo] sanity
    [echo] timeoutSeconds.sanity

The ugly workaround is some sort if condition construction, but I don't
want that....
