KotlinPoet: Why is there a difference between %N and %M? I often need to handle illegal Kotlin member names, so I use MemberName("MyObject", "my-prop") and I need carefully adopt my generator to use %N. This is also affects %L, which uses the same %M escaping when passing MemberName. Also related, %N only writes the escaped property name, but does not include the class name, so I need to write the classname manually in another code block too.

Yes, but both use MemberName but results in different output, which is somehow confusing.
