hey, does anybody know why requireNotNull doesn't perform a smart-cast on its value?

its inlined functions all the way down, so

fun things(val x: Param?){
  requireNotNull(x)
}

is transformed into

fun things(val x: Param?){
  if(x == null) {
    //...
    throw IllegalArgumentException() 
  } 
}
