override fun <T : ViewModel?> create(
    key: String,
    modelClass: Class<T>,
    handle: SavedStateHandle
): T & Any {
    TODO("Not yet implemented")
}

I've never seen that kind of type

T & Any

until now. What does the

&

mean in this generic type? Does it have just common

&

meaning? or a bit operator?

T

and

Any

, so definitely not null

Thank you guys! :)

not only a special case of intersection types, but also the only case (

& Any

) implemented so far.
