A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

Is there a way to change an extension function's receiver name as it appears in Java as a function param?  I was hoping for `@receiver:JvmName` but that doesn't appear to be supported.  I would like to avoid the automatic names like `$this$something` or `$self` for the java interop as those names aren't particularly informative.

If you're designing a Java interop API, its probably best to avoid receivers anyway, since it doesn't improve the Java experience in any way.

The primary target is for Kotlin use, but there are a handful of older java projects that will be updated to use the library.  They will be forced to use `someFunc(foo, bar)` instead of `foo.someFunc(bar)` but that's not the worst thing in the world.

However, there are a few extensions that are being marked with `@JvmSynthetic` because it wouldn't make sense to use them from java.
