Is there a way in Kotlin multiplatform to mimic Swift's override class func in Kotlin (in iOSMain)?

[Jeff Lockhart]

No. Kotlin companion object functions are the closest equivalent to a Swift class function. But companion object functions behave like Java statics. You can't override them.

Yeah... I was hoping there'd be some special annotations in KMP, for Kotlin in iosMain, that would allow to 'override' these "class funcs" for the backing meta-class.

Example, being able to override the class func canInitialize(request:) in a Kotlin subclass of of a NSURLProtocol.
