Now that Kotlin 1.9.20 will work with JVM target of 21, in which

ArrayList

now has a

reversed()

method that does what Kotlin's

asReversed()

does (returns a reversed view of the original collection), will this new

reversed()

method cause any confusion with Kotlin's existing

reversed()

function which returns a new List?

stdlib collections extensions are supposed to have some magic so they're prioritized, this has come up before (e.g.

forEach

)

Similarly:

fun foo(list: ArrayList<Int>) {
    list.reversed()  // calls Kotlin extension
    if (list is SequencedCollection<*>)
        list.reversed()  // calls Java method
}

I'd expect kotlin to have sequenced collections too. Good for unification.
