// 1. replace Pipe with extension methods (I considered operator overloading, e.g. |, but might be weird)

pvc.Task("build", () => {
    pvc.Source("WebApplication.sln")
       .MSBuild(
           buildTarget: "Clean;Build",
           enableParallelism: true
       )
       .SomethingElse(...);
});

// 2. remove pvc — for task it definitely looks better, for source.. not sure (mostly due to the indent)

Task("build", () => {
    Source("WebApplication.sln")
        .MSBuild(
            buildTarget: "Clean;Build",
            enableParallelism: true
        )
        .SomethingElse(...);
});


// 3. can we improve it further? crazy idea!
// gives static checks on task names — on the other hand, harder to create tasks dynamically

task build = () => {
    source("WebApplication.sln")
        .MSBuild(
            buildTarget: "Clean;Build",
            enableParallelism: true
        )
        .SomethingElse(...);
}

task postbuild = build + (() => {
   ... 
});

// how does 3 work?
delegate void task();

// to collect variables, append this to user code
void __stub() {}
var that = ((Action)__stub).Target; // is there a better way to get 'scope' object?
foreach (var field in that.GetType().GetFields()) {
    if (field.Name == "that" || field.Name.StartsWith("<"))
        continue;
    
    pvc.Task(field.Name, field.GetValue(that));
