@wjur I would go about this completely differently. The root problem lies in KotlinValueInstantiator which just bails on any instance or extension receiver parameter. For INSTANCE I propose only bailing if the instance type is not a kotlin object. If it is a kotlin object, we can fill it in using KClass.objectInstance, which will enable all this to work even without JvmStatic (I think).
