for tasks named based on a source set, like `checkstyleMain` is there an easy way to reverse that to just the source set name? it'd be convenient to reduce this code given feature variants and test suites

```tasks.named<Checkstyle>("checkstyleMain") {
  configFile = checkstyleConfig("main.xml")
}```

I guess this works, but seems hacky

```tasks.withType&lt;Checkstyle&gt;().configureEach {
  this.name.substringAfter("checkstyle").replaceFirstChar { it.lowercase() }.let { filename -&gt;
    logger.quiet("checkstyleConfig: $filename")
    configFile = checkstyleConfig("${filename}.xml")
  }
}```


How about going the other way: from source set to task?
```sourceSets.configureEach {
  tasks.named&lt;CheckStyle&gt;(getTaskName("checkstyle", null)) {
    // …
  }
}```
That being said, your approach is also used by code quality plugins: <https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/057b55410a1b8cb3161ab9c7d4a8a34937f944ac/platforms/jvm/code-quality/src/main/groovy/org/gradle/api/plugins/quality/internal/AbstractCodeQualityPlugin.java#L151-L160|https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/057b55410a1b8cb3161ab9c7d4a8a34937f944ac/pla[…]dle/api/plugins/quality/internal/AbstractCodeQualityPlugin.java>
