i guess there is no way to change `versionFor`  to add `Project`  as a receiver in groovy code without changes to usages ?
or  some way to extract which buildscript the call came from with reflection ?

Wait, there's a way to have receiver syntax in Groovy DSL?

Regardless, we can do a lot of magic as a settings plugin, including automatically migrating.

well this is code that would be in your `build.gradle`  file

but honestly.. maybe just marking the old function as `@Deprecated`  wit ha proper `ReplaceWith`  might be enough

not sure how good the IDE integration is for groovy code.. i only know it never worked for me

&gt; *Wait, there's a way to have receiver syntax in Groovy DSL?*

aparently there is such a language feature in groovy.. but not sure if we have access to it..

<https://dzone.com/articles/groovy-goodness-adding-extra>
&gt;  An extension module is a JAR file with classes that provide extra methods to existing other classes like in the JDK or third-party libraries. Groovy uses this mechanism to add for example extra methods to the `File` class.
so.. if we set this up right.. maybe we can provide `versionFor`  extensions on `Project`

seems like it needs a service entry in META-INF for discovery

Far from high priority for refreshVersions, but if you want and think you can make it work without drawbacks, feel free to send a PR.

i am only considering this because it would not break existing `0.10.0`  groovy buildscripts

but .. all of that might not work on gradle buildscripts anyways..
