What was the rationale for the Any argument in the error function?

public inline fun error(message: Any): Nothing = throw IllegalStateException(message.toString())

Isn't it risky allowing passing in all types of data?

Risky how?

Accidentally passing in an unrelated object. No error, goes unnoticed until runtime.

Yeah I can see how e.g. error { "foo" } might be not useful 🤔
