A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

so i have this situation where i can't use an if/else with some legacy java code

```
/* this is package private in another package */ abstract class Parent
class A : Parent()
class B : Parent()

fun x() {
    if (true) A()
    else B()
}

```

since it's an expression kotlin tries to get the common return type which is `Parent` and then complains that it's not accessible. i'm not interested in the return type. i don't feel like writing `as Any` at the end of the `if`, is there a better solution?
