AFAICT this is supposed to happen already: see this call to `attachProducer`?

Whoops, got used to using the special DSL sauce that allows assignments to properties. Replacing `outDir=...` and `inDir=...` with `outDir.set(...)` and `inDir.set(...)` works.

Thanks for pointing out the implementation <@UDC9Q9RD0>

For anyone that comes across this later; beware, the `attachProducer` method used in Gradle only works on `Property`s, it does not work with `Provider`s.
