Heyho,
I stumbled across visibility issues of private val variables. class Client(private val delegate: InternalClient) - The compiler tells me , that i’m not allowed to use InternalClient as val because of it’s being exposed public.
But… the private should limit the visibility to other classes so no getter and no setter should be present, and it shouldn’t make any difference from compiler perspective,
since no user is ever allowed to invoke delegate directly via client . Or am i missing something here?

I think it’s because InternalClient is exposed in the public constructor

Ah. Missed that, you are right. Thanks a lot!
