 IMPORTANT: Remember that, inside the Kotlin Script file, you have to provide the fully qualified name to the `ContractDSL` class.
 Generally you would use its contract function like this: `org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.ContractDsl.contract { ... }`.
 You can also provide an import to the `contract` function (`import org.springframework.cloud.contract.spec.ContractDsl.Companion.contract`) and then call `contract { ... }`.
