How do you configure the compileKotlin task from the Gradle Kotlin DSL? The best I could come up with is:

tasks.withType<KotlinCompile> {
  kotlinOptions {
    jvmTarget = "1.8"
  }
}

This seems much more verbose than the default Groovy version, which is

compileKotlin {
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = "1.8"
    }
}

I could not find a compileKotlin extension under the base KotlinBuildScript. Am I missing something obvious?
