Question: Has there been any long-term thought into reworking

RepositoryHandler

so that it has more conventional

NamedDomainObjectContainer

semantics? It just seems like with the way Gradle has evolved over the years, something like

repositories {
  maven(url) { name = "foobar" }
}

would be a bit clunky compared to

repositories.register<MavenArtifactRepository>("foobar") {
  url.set(...)
}

Of course, I recognize that any effort to go in that direction would be nontrivial, since the API appears to not have a thing that is both "ordered" and "an extensible container", but one can dream, right?
