Add a rootProject convenience macro that expands to a Project with base "."
and the enclosing val name as id. Allows writing `val root = rootProject`
instead of `val root = (project in file("."))` for a stable root project id.
- KeyMacro: add rootProjectImpl (same as projectImpl with base new File("."))
- BuildExtra: add inline def rootProject
- ProjectMacro: add unit test for rootProject

This good, but please ping me on the issue for anything that I've labeled "needs discussion", because that usually means we haven't decided if it's a good idea to have the feature. |
