kotlinlang

in ktor-server-html-builder-jvm, there’s an interesting Kotlin detail that I’m wondering if anyone here knows more about: `respondHtml(status) { with(template) { apply() } }`  is used as just doing `template.apply()`  triggers the built in scope function `apply` . What is it about the use of `with` that makes Kotlin invoke the `apply` method on `HTML&lt;T&gt;` rather than the scope function? Is it something about member functions taking presedence in the parser/compiler when it’s called without an explicit receiver, or something like that? If I try and change it to `with(resp.body) { this.apply() }`, i.e. explicitly using `this` inside `with`, it tries to call the scope function again.
