Gulp task displayName is not recognized / supported

[doze]

Display names for gulp tasks does not seem to be supported by the Task Explorer.

If you set a display name to a Gulp task in the gulpfile:

const buildZip = series(build, zip);
buildZip.displayName = "build-zip";

Using gulp -T shows tasks with the defined display name and they can be run with that name (only):

gulp -T

But task explorer still shows the tasks under gulp with the function names, not with the display names:

And it also runs the task with the function name, not the display name, so gulp complains it does not find the task:

*  Executing task: npx gulp buildZip 

[15:05:20] Using gulpfile E:\Project\gulpfile.js
[15:05:20] Task never defined: buildZip
[15:05:20] To list available tasks, try running: gulp --tasks

 *  The terminal process "C:\windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -Command npx gulp buildZip" terminated with exit code: 1. 
 *  Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it. 

Would it be possible to get the displayName attribute supported for gulp tasks?

Okay, I found out that I can solve this for now by modifying how the exports are done.

So instead of this:

exports.buildZip = buildZip;

Do this if you have changed the display name of the task:

exports['build-zip'] = buildZip;

But I guess Task Explorer could still look up the display name for the export and use that if configured (Gulp Tasks extension works with the display names without changing the export).
