I have tasks.withType(JmhTask::class.java) { } where tasks is a TaskContainer type, which extends interface DomainObjectCollection<T>
DomainObjectCollection<T>::withType is defined as <S extends T> DomainObjectCollection<S> withType(Class<S> type, Action<? super S> configureAction)
I'd like to type instead tasks<JmhTask> { } , so I wrote:

inline operator fun <reified S> TaskContainer.invoke(configureAction: Action<in S>?) = withType(S::class.java, configureAction)

but withType is marked red:

None of the following functions can be called with the arguments supplied.
withType(Class<TypeVariable(S)!>, Action<in TypeVariable(S)!>)   where S = TypeVariable(S) for    fun <S : Task!> withType(type: Class<S!>, configureAction: Action<in S!>): DomainObjectCollection<S!> defined in org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskContainer

thanks but in the meanwhile I found a solution: it was as simple as adding a lower bound <reified S: Task>
