A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

I have two separate files with both declaring

```@Serializable
private data object LoginNavKey : NavKey```
and I'm getting a `Redeclaration: data object LoginNavKey : NavKey` comp time error.

Why? They're both private, there is no redeclaration in respective files

Even these classes are private, for JVM they will have the same name.
JVM class name for class Test in file a/b/c.kt will be a.b.Test

So if you have another Test class in a/b/d.kt it will have the same name a.b.Test

okay so it's fundamentally different from say (top level) functions?

Top level functions and variables are compiled for JVM as members of generated by Kotlin class with name as file name with Kt suffics.

so the easiest way to "dedupe" is to have different packages, right?

For examle if you have val x in a/b/test.kt it will be static member of class a.b.TestKt
