 Description   

While doFirst and doLast tasks can be extremely handy,
the fact that they're anonymous means there's no easy way
to skip them. For that reason, I think they should take a name.

See also: GRADLE-411 which argues for subsuming this functionality
by adding a few more optional args to createTask(...).

I think this is issue is partly based on the misunderstanding mentioned in GRADLE-411. One could still argue that actions should have an id. But we haven't come across a good use case for this. Therefore I'm closing this issue. If we have a use case we can always reopen it.
