I have something like the following: ```class X { ...

I have something like the following:

class X {
    var prop: HashMap<String>? = null
}

I want to do the following:

var x: X? = X()
if (x != null && x.prop != null) {
    x.prop[key] = value
}

but I get an error about using x.prop. I ned to append '!!' to make it work. But if I do this:

var x: X? = X()
if (x != null) {
    var prop = x.prop
     if (prop != null) {
        prop[key] = value
    }
}

it works. It appears the compiler does not do the non-null check for members of a nullable type. Does that sound right?
