I like the provider properties, but it would be really cool if Kotlin supported an assignment operator, so you could write

jar {
    archiveBaseName = "myJar"
}

instead of the

jar {
    archiveBaseName.set("myJar")
}

that is required since Gradle 5.1.

Please, no overloading on assignment operator 🙏 I'd much prefer if there were some nice accessors for those

Provider.set()

and

Provider.get()

in kotlin-dsl

The old methods are such accessors but they of course have a different name and they are deprecated.
