Hi,

When configuring a project with the `kotlin("multiplatform")` plugin we can do something like:

```val jvmMain by getting {
...
}```

but how our build process knows that if we write `jvmMain2` in the variable name instead of `jvmMain` our sourceset does not exist?
My motivation is that I would like to do something similar, probably using my `buildSrc`, but I don’t know which kind of magic we are using here.
Is the kotlin build process somehow extracting the variable names and comparing them with the available sourcesets?

Extracting the variable name part comes from property delegates feature. You get reflected property instance from which you can get the name.
<https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/delegated-properties.html>

As for the sourcesets, you just check the model of the project you have.

Hum, thanks, indeed. I’ve already read the delegates documentation but I wasn’t remembering that we could get the property name there. Thanks
