Prefixed Property task.

Hi all,
sorry if this is a perennial, but I couldn't find anything in the archives or a trawl of the last couple of months. I was wondering if there were any plans to / if anyone had already changed the property task to include an optional 'prefix' attribute. I have a situation where I need to load multiple property files of different names but containing identically named properties. Rather than get into the property immutability issue, I thought a good way around would be: -

<property file="datasource.properties"/>
<sql driver="${datasource.driver} .../>

<property file="otherdatasource.properties" prefix="other"/>
<sql driver="${other.datasource.driver}" .../>

Has anybody implemented this? (if not I'll do it myself).

jim
