This expression is the documented way to get the paths to the Android tools.
I see no reason to add a pre-evaluated copy for every tool.

In your original message it looked like you needed this only to construct
the path above.

AFAICT the only meaning this value has is exactly what that code expresses.

What is your use case for getting this value and why is it needed separately?
