Slightly improved API

```
tasks.withType().configureEach {
friendPaths.from(friends.incoming.artifactView { }.files)
}
```

Updated your post with your suggestion, thanks!

And could be KotlinCompile instead of JVM.

Does the friend-paths option play well with multiplatform yet? Last time I looked closely at it (3-4 years ago) I could only get it working on JVM.

I haven't tried it on KMP

Looks like dedicated API?

Is this supported by the IDE? i.e. if I use `-Xfriend-paths`, will my IDE show me the internal symbols?

It did work on the latest intellij on my machine, but given this is a hack your mileage might vary

I get some red squigglies in 2024.3.1.1. But building.

Also some minor type inference fails across modules. Had to workaround two in code.

Yeah, it does seem that IJ does not actually work.
