There are many things I hate in Gradle, but among the most offending ones is the fact that it has no notation of where things are declared.

Like `Foo` doesn't work, because you forgot adding the `Bar` plugin, but there is no indication `Foo` being defined by `Bar`, and obviously the error message won't give you any clues either.

gcc (which isn't exactly the champion of helpful error messages) at least tries to give you hints that you'd need `stdio` for `printf()`.
