Better way to simply force a dependency about gradle-resolution-rules-plugin HOT 1 OPEN

Hi @rupebac thank you for the feedback. The reason why alignment rules support includes is that they are conceptually slightly different. One alignment rule is expected to operate on a group of dependencies. The proposal for substitution is just a convenience for easier declaration of multiple rules affecting independent dependencies. You can add all substitution rules into a single file like:

substitute": [
    {
      "module" : "org.myorg.group:myartifact",
      ...
    },
    {
      "module" : "org.myorg.group:myartifact2",
      ...
    }
]

We don't have a big burden with such notation. That said we are not going to implement any time soon. If you are willing to contribute we are open to PRs.
