Question about library usage and non-stable kotlin components - if I have an app that relies on two libraries - lib1 expecting, for example, `kotlin-reflect:1.4` and lib2 built expecting `kotlin-reflect:1.5`, when executing there will only be one version of the kotlin runtime - maybe 1.6. For any functions that are the same between those `kotlin-reflect:1.4` and `kotlin-reflect:1.5`,  things will work fine. But if `kotlin-reflect:1.4` uses some method that was removed in 1.5, I get a runtime exception. I can't lower my version of the runtime to 1.4 because it will break lib2.

Is this basically a case where I can't use both lib1 and lib2 until lib1 owner publishes a new version that relies on `kotlin-reflect:1.5`? Is this a problem I need to expect for any libraries that use Alpha/Beta <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/components-stability.html#current-stability-of-kotlin-components|components>? I don't think there is any guarantee for ABI compatibility for non-stable components.
