Hmm, I thought String.trimIndent() was a runtime function, but according to the the latest safari video up at 2:00 he says its compile time transformation, but then I tried to use it in a const val then it says Const 'val' initializer should be a constant value is it evaluated at run-time or at compile-time just not able to fit into const val (maybe because compiler can't figure it out easily)?

Ohk, it is a compile time transformation as I can see from the decompiler 😮 but what's the reason it doesn't fit into the const val (s)

It's complicated
