Sounds like a good idea.

If you bootstrapped Jelly from either inside Ant or with an Ant Project
scope, you could just use the Ant <properties> tag to load properties into
Jelly. Though I know Maven did some clever jiggery pokery so that dynamic
expressions could be put inside the properties file which would then get
lazily evaluated on demand. So maybe we should migrate some of that
functionality into core Jelly?
