Maybe in Gradle 9.
Currently, you would do `layout.dir(provider { temporaryDir })`

I wonder if you can make a good Kotlin extension function that gives something similar. The closest I got is
```val Task.temporaryDirectory
  get() = project.objects.directoryProperty().fileValue(temporaryDir).apply {
    disallowChanges()
    finalizeValueOnRead()
  }```
I just need to figure out how to get rid of that first part where I use `project`.

Why that complex and not what I wrote?
```val Task.temporaryDirectory
  get() = project.layout.dir(project.provider { temporaryDir })```

No reason. Still trying to find a solution that does not involve using `project`.

There is probably no way without a possibilty to inject any thing like `ObjectFactory` or `ProjectLayout` or whatever
