Question: I have something like this:

object MyObject {
  val size by Int::SIZE_BITS
}

I'm getting a compile error on MyObject.size saying that the property delegate does not have a getValue(MyObject, KProperty<*>) method for some reason. Specifically, complicating matters somewhat is if I have this:

import <http://kotlin.Int|kotlin.Int> as KInt
object MyObject {
  val size by KInt::SIZE_BITS
}

which should be equivalent, but the compiler error is saying that

public inline operator fun <T, V> KProperty1<Int, Int> getValue(thisRef: Int, property: KProperty<*>)

is unsuitable.
Any insight on what could be happening?

Ah. It's a case of needing to specify Int.Companion::SIZE_BITS, it looks like. My IDE didn't flag that for some reason.

[ephemient]

that's equivalent to

val size
    get() = Int.SIZE_BITS

although the value doesn't change so why not

const val size = Int.SIZE_BITS

?

Just using Int.SIZE_BITS as an example for demonstration purposes.
