Let's say I have ```class A { fun B.something() ...

Let's say I have

class A {
  fun B.something() { ... }
}

something() has two receivers, A and B, yeah?

I was hoping that would let me do this:

class B {
  init {
    val a = A()
    a.something()
  }
}

but it seems in reality I have to do this:

class B {
  init {
    val a = A()
    with(a) {
      something()
    }
  }
}

Is there a nicer way to get something closer to the first one?

[Nir]

I assume that something has a good reason to be a member of A. Why not though simply fun something(b: B), and then in B you can do a.something(this)

[Nir]

If the reason is simply that you want both A and B to be in scope during `something`'s implementation, that is easily enough solved: fun something(b: B) = b.run { ... }

[jeff]

I care less about having things in scope inside the function and more about not having to pass this in constantly when it's already in scope at the call site.

[Nir]

I guess the way you could solve this is to define a function in B

[Nir]

fun A.something() = [e-mail] { [e-mail]() }

[Nir]

And now you get the syntax you want

I only took a glimpse look, is this your issue possibly? https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-42626
