Whats the most idiomatic way to extend a primitive type in kotlin? For example in the context of an Android app, I want to build a type Force from Double which represents a force value converted to the appropriate unit (lbs/kg) based on user preferences. The type would encapsulate the conversion logic

I would just use an inline class (the new syntax is @JvmInline value class).

Alternatively, take a look at this: https://github.com/kunalsheth/units-of-measure
