Why does this break smart cast 🤔

val showSelectNewTaskConfirmationDialog = newTask != null
if (showSelectNewTaskConfirmationDialog) {
    // smart cast for newTask here not working
    [...]
}

https://kotlinlang.org/spec/type-inference.html#smart-casts does not consider anything other than direct control flow

[ephemient]

relationships between multiple values are not tracked

[Florian]

makes sense, thank you!

Actually, such smartcasts will be supported in new kotlin compiler

@dmitriy.novozhilov wow, cool!
