`spotlessPredeclare` accessor is not available in kotlin scripts

In Gradle kotlin scripts, spotlessPredeclare is not available as an assessor. In order to use this , one has to access it via the extensions API, e.g. using kotlin's with.

with(extensions["spotlessPredeclare"] as SpotlessExtension) { ... }

Looking at the codebase, I noticed the spotlessPredeclare is not created when the plugin is applied.

Maybe it's on purpose and I wonder why, but maybe it's not and maybe this can be added relatively easily.

spotlessPredeclare has two modes:

Happy to take a PR which makes this more Kotlin-friendly.
