I'm investigating how to get this behavior of Scijava in Kotlin multiplatform
But I'm evaluating also KSP at the moment, I'm kind of afraid a compiler plugin would be overkill (I'm totally unfamiliar with them)

You might want to take a look at the implementation of KMP-NativeCoroutines and Moko-kswift
