A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I am getting started with using the kotlin-dsl in an android project and I’m a bit surprised that I have to use
```
buildTypes {
  getByName("debug") {
  ...
  }
}
```
instead of
```
buildTypes {
  "debug" {
  ...
  }
}
```
I can see a `NamedDomainObjectContainerScope` that defines the `String.invoke` extension but I’m not able to use it without explicitly specifying
```
buildTypes.invoke {
  "debug" {
  ...
  }
}
```
(possibly because the android plugin defines `fun buildTypes(Action&lt;BuildType&gt;)`).

Is there a way to force the script to look like the second snippet above? (I believe Kotlin JVM had an annotation that would give the object extension more priority over the object member :thinking_face:)

The first syntax seems more "easy" for you because you are familiar with it, but I would argue that the second one is more "simple".
Explicit is better than implicit
