Which benefits do you hope to gain from that? Is it just "gradle" vs.
"gradlew" or something else?

The main reason for using the wrapper is to make it unnecessary to manually
install (and update) Gradle. But without a Gradle installation, there won't
be a "gradle" script. 

I think of "gradle" as a user-specific (and user-provided) installation, and
"gradlew" as a project-specific (and automatically provided) installation.
Not sure if we should start to mix between the two (like having "gradle" use
the wrapper settings). I'd rather try to make "gradlew" more convenient to
use. The only inconvenience I'm aware of is that you can't call "gradlew" by
its simple name from a subproject directory. But this could be solved fairly
easily. Anything else you don't like about "gradlew"?
