Reading from <https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/17306>, looks like there's `-x` but I need this programmatically

`enabled = false` still executes dependencies

I guess there's no way to modify the task graph while building it or something like this

Oh, does it? I meant to remember `-x` basically sets enabled to false. Seems I'm wrong then. :-(

You can use
```gradle.startParameter.setExcludedTaskNames(listOf(...))```
That is the property `-x` is setting and it works to set it from a build script too, I just tried.
