kotlinlang

Hi all - I’m trying to create a Kotlin equivalent of this Java code:
```
public class Example {
    private String value = "";

    public String getValue() {
        return value;
    }
}
```
For mocking reasons, I need the `getValue()` method to be open, but I want to keep any setter private.  Here’s what I tried in Kotlin:
```
open class Example {
    open var value: String = ""
        private set
}
```
But, that won’t compile: `Private setters are not allowed for open properties`  Is there any way to achieve this without using backing fields?
