-      This is used to specify the treatment of text contents of the macrodef.
-      If this element is not present, then any nested text in the macro
-      will be an error. If the text element is present, then the name
-      becomes an attribute that gets set to the nested text of the macro.
-      <em>Since ant 1.6.1.</em>

-      The case of the text name is ignored.
