Proper usage of KotlinScript Gradle

[ColtonIdle]

The docs say:

spotless { // if you are using build.gradle.kts, instead of 'spotless {' use:
           // configure<com.diffplug.gradle.spotless.SpotlessExtension> {

so it's suggesting to use configure<com.diffplug.gradle.spotless.SpotlessExtension> with a kts file, but I used spotless { instead and it works just fine. Is there any reason we would use configure<com.diffplug.gradle.spotless.SpotlessExtension>?

You would use the latter when type-safe model accessors are not available.
