That is opinion.

The syntax in question is a bit esoteric and would therefor have a 
greater potential to confuse maintainers with less experience.

Also, if someone doesn't think hard about what that really is doing, 
they may not fully understand the consequences of that approach.

The more I think about this "problem", the more I think that a 
properties file may be more appropriate than an "in code" solution for 
most cases.
