i am doing
```import org.gradle.kotlin.dsl.add as ktAdd```
to avoid resolving to the built-in groovy DependencyHandler methods, but when i call
``` ktAdd(name,project.dependencies.enforcedPlatform("mydep")){
                    version {
                        bomConstraints.add(this)
                    }
                }```
it will only resolve to the non-generic version that takes a string dependency

is there a way to specify the right extension method to use?

`T : org.gradle.api.artifacts.ModuleDependency`

`interface ModuleDependency extends Dependency`

ahh id have to cast the the result of enforcedPlatform?

i found i can also do this:
```            project.dependencies.apply {
                add(name, project.dependencies.enforcedPlatform("mydep"), closureOf&lt;ExternalModuleDependency&gt; {
                    version {
                        bomConstraints.add(this)
                    }
                })
            }```

Yeah, that might work indeed if `enforcedPlatform` actually returns an `ExternalDependency`.
In that case casting the `enforcedPlatform` result to `ExternalDependency` should also work.
