So, it’s a bit surprising that compiler doesn’t override the primary constructor with an invoke operator inside a companion object. It should at least give a warning or do not compile it at all...

class Testo(
	val value: Int
) {
     companion object parse {
          operator fun invoke(value: Int): Testo {
              return Testo(value + 1);
          }
     }
}

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    println(Testo(1).value)
}

So it’ll obviously print 1 and call primary constructor instead of the invoke() operator.
I think this one should be considered as a small issue.

Assigning invoke() operator for the companion object allows to build very neat factory methods.

Just wondering: should I create an YouTrack Kotlin issue for this matter ?
