Why does runCatching autocomplete to kotlin.runCatching in the IDE? If I remove kotlin. it still works fine.

kotlin package is imported implicitly by the kompiler

[Casey Brooks]

I think he’s meaning why does autocompletion give us the fully-qualified kotlin.runCatching { } rather than just runCatching { }. Since kotlin. is imported implicitly, the IDE shouldn’t need to add that extra bit. It’s always annoyed me too
