what's the most reasonable way to externalize dependency versions using kotlin-dsl, i'd assumed this would be easy to determine, but sadly, does not appear to be the case 😐

in groovy i've got:
gradle.properties

kotlinVersion=kotlinVersion=1.2.41

and

build.gradle

buildscript {
    ...
    dependencies {
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlinVersion"
        ...
}

and it is able to determine the appropriate values.

in kotlin it looks like i can do

val kotlinVersion: String by project
...
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:${kotlinVersion}"

but now i've had to define it before i reference it and i might as well just inline the version there instead of int hep roperties file.
