Ant will eat itself

I was sorely tempted to save this for April Fool’s Day.

<project default="default">
  <target name="default">
    <delete file="${ant.file}"/>
  </target>
</project>

Update: Yes it does work:

Socks:tmp jsimpson$ mkdir demo
Socks:tmp jsimpson$ cd demo/
Socks:demo jsimpson$ vim build.xml
Socks:demo jsimpson$ ls -l build.xml
-rw-r--r--  1 jsimpson  wheel  119  1 Feb 21:13 build.xml
Socks:demo jsimpson$ ant
Buildfile: build.xml

default:
   [delete] Deleting: /private/tmp/demo/build.xml

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds
Socks:demo jsimpson$ ls -l build.xml
ls: build.xml: No such file or directory
Socks:demo jsimpson$
