Started reading the latest version of the User Guide from the

doFirst {

Unless I'm mistaken, the second form is actually equivalent to:
task hello {
doLast {
println'Hello world!'
}
}
or even
task hello
hello.doLast {
println'Hello world!'
}
You're right. I've updated the sample (in trunk, not on the website yet).
The "<<" form is confusing enough. Having the first hello world
example state that it's equivalent to doFirst will only lead to later
confusion once a user learns about doFirst and doLast.
I think we should look at deprecating the '<<' form after the Gradle 0.9
release. And possibly doFirst() and doLast() too, so that a task has
only 1 action.
