it's possible to reference the constructor of some class MyClass with the path ::MyClass. for example, someNullableVal?.let(::MyClass).
just wondering - is there a fully qualified syntax here? I would expect something like MyClass::MyClass or MyClass::constructor or something.

::MyClass is the full form, because MyClass() is the callable in Kotlin, not MyClass.MyClass() or anything like that

thank you. looking at this again, I guess that kind of makes sense? a class constructor is a global-scope free function which returns a new instance of the class. and this global scope would make it a root-level function.
