also, as someone who was using Gradle since way before I was using Kotlin, when I first saw things like compile group: "foo", name: "bar", version: "1.0", I was very confused. It took me months to even realize compile was a function and that's how you use 1-arg functions in Groovy, and you could easily also do it with parens. Granted, maybe that's because Groovy has terrible IDE support, but it still reduces visibility for absolutely no readability gains. If we're not allowing these for nested calls, I'm wondering where this would seriously benefit anyone. Just use the parens
