Why those two task definition syntaxes equivalent?

Can you explain why those two task definitions in Gradle are equivalent?

task(type: Copy, 'myTask')

And 

task myTask(type: Copy)

Is it some Groovy magic syntax thingy that I'm not familiar with, or actually a Gradle preprocessing?

Gradle seems to use build script transformers, which are executed during the buildscript compilation phase.

Here's the transformer you're looking for.

Here is a list of transformations.
