Nant Task - Call2

Is anyone else sick of being unable to pass parameters to a Nant 'Call' task?


I am thinking about writing a new "Call2" Nant task. It would work like 'Call' but treat all extra attributes as properties to create or overwrite prior to execution of the referenced task.

It would effectively allow me the following shortcut:

-------------------------------------------------------------

...I would be able to type ...

-------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------

For me at least this will be quite the time saver.

Is this a waste of time?

Has someone else already done this?

Is it already in NAnt somewhere under a different name?

I'd be glad to hear anyone's opinion on the subject.

If you're interested in this task, drop me a line at my GMail address or post in the comments.
