I get compiler errors about smartcasting mutable vars because it might have changed. Is there a way to disable that? It can't have changed because it's a single threaded app, and I checked for null in the previous statement, like `if( thing != null &amp;&amp; thing.value &gt; 10)` I can't use `thing?.value` because of a known bug in 1.5.20...

for those curious about the bug : <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-47717>

You could grab a local reference:
```val myThing = thing
if (myThing != null &amp;&amp; myThing.value &gt; 10) foo()```

either the way Damien did it, or with `let` :
```thing?.let{ myThing-&gt;
  if(myThing&gt;10) foo()
}```
of course you don't have to name your local variable and use it as `it` .
